Z mileage test

JARblue

I've gotten 520 miles on a tank before driving across West Texas. And I only filled up 18.8 gallons that time.

Normally I get around 300-350 miles on mostly city driving tanks, and around 400 miles on mostly highway driving tanks. It is rare that I fill up with less than 17 gallons. The mileage remaining indicator usually comes on saying ~50 miles left. Once it reaches "---", I can usually get another 50-75 miles without issue. The thing you have to realize is the miles remaining is based on recent driving habits. If you've been driving easy (say ~20 mpg avg) and then start gunning it everywhere once the 50 miles remaining warning comes on, then you probably won't even make it 25 miles before it starts flashing "---".

After 60K miles, I can pretty much drive the car within a 1/2 gallon of completely empty based on my mileage counter and knowing how hard/easy I've been driving the car and how much city/highway driving during that tank. I fill up when its convenient, knowing that when the car tells me I have 50 miles left, I can really drive over 100 miles if I'm on the highway or easy on the gas in the city. And no issues with my fuel pump so far. If I ever have an issue, I'll be sure to post it up along with a similar summary of my driving habits.

Also, DE knows his $hit. He wasn't being mean - just a little curt. Your initial post may have been English, but it certainly wasn't very clear.
