Correct me if I am wrong but I heard it was bad to run your car below a 1/4 tank all the time.

I don't keep it there, I usually fill up every 10 days. I don't think there is as much sediments in gas today as there was in the 70's and early 80's. The issues today with gasoline usually revolve around detonation resistence, ethanol, and water. I have never gone below 1/8, but I don't fear it really, either. Ford knows that some folks are going to run them dry, so I'm fairly sure they designed the system with that in mind.

My average is about 26, my low 23, my high, 30mpg hwy. My driving style is almost no city, I'm in rural America travelling two lane in OD for 30-40 miles to get anywhere. It's twenty miles just to get gas for my car!
