How many miles do you get with a full tank???

Hey everyone...

I was wondering how many milles do you guys get when you fill up your tank???

I get like 280-290 milles, I think that sucks.

Sheeze you guys are doing good. I usually fill up at 1/4 tank and that's about 200 miles. This tank I've been driving a bit more like a senior citizen, let's see how it helps my mileage.

Between 800 and 900 miles to a tank if I'm easy on the throttle.

I went until the light came on when I drove to NJ a couple weeks ago: 375 miles. That was on I-95 and I got about 22mpg.

I don't get it! I'm lucky if hit 300 and 17 mpg. I don't "think" I drive too fast.

Actually, I drove until the light came on for the first time the other day and I reached 316 miles. The manuel does not say how many gallons are left at that point - anyone know?

When I filled up, it stopped at $75 even (at $4.42 a gal. That's 16.9 galllons). It would not start pumping again so I think there was something wrong with the pump.

Isn't the tank supposed to be a 21 gallon tank? If so, could there really have been 4 gallons left?

Sorry for getting off track.
