    I drive mostly all city about half the time with ac on I fluctuate between 290 and 310 miles per tank usually about 30 of those miles are with the lamp on. I wish it was a little better, usually around 16-17mpg. I do have 265/75/16 tires.

    For what it's worth, today I hit "please refuel" (after 1 mile left). I wanted to get over the border of TX to NM on the 40 to Russel's dot gas and food. I was nervous (a little less after finding this thread) about testing below 0, it worked out. I clocked 12.8 miles after 0, and when I filled my tank I only got to 19.54 gallons. By that math I had another 30 miles, I'll never try that again, but it's good to know.

    I should also mention, it's almost 100% flat out here. Hope this helps!
