How many gallons to fill up?

vipor · 06-24-2010, 11:39 AM

I use GasCubby on the iPhone to keep track of my mileage, spending, and maintenance on my Z.

Average Gallons per Fill Up : 16.98
Average Miles per Fill Up : 324.06

Most Gallons per Fill Up : 18.88

I have also gotten the following amounts : 18.00, 18.20, 17.72, 18.40, 17.95, 18.06, 17.54, 18.02, 18.80, 17.90, 19.82, 17.87, 17.70, 18.38, 17.71, 17.64, 17.59, 18.48, 18.18, 17.84, 17.92

Keep in mind I have a tendency to push it too far.. obviously.

I use gas cubby as well. Great app!! Just filled up with Shell premium and filled up 17.5 gallons. Cost me $56.xx.

Does anyone know why we have to use premium, while the mustang can use either 87 or 91?

Why?

I've driven 20-30 minutes after the car says I have --- miles left in the tank. Where I was, I had to. When I filled up, I still had 1.5 gal. in the tank

Some people argue that the bottom of the tank has contaminents floating around. Others say that is not true. No objective info out there that I have seen either way.

I always fill up when my light comes on telling me to fill up.
