RE: GAS MILAGE (help needed)

damn... 14 mpg... lowest I ever got thus far is 19 mpg because of my 20 minute 130 mph trip down the highway the day i got the car... of course it costs me just the same with 23-28 mpg because of premium.

but yeah you take your trip odo divided into what you filled up, as everyone else who knows what they're talking about stated.

best:27 worst:12... reset your trip odo when you fill up, then when you go to put gas in it again, fill it and calculate the mileage by dividing the total miles by the gallons THAT THE GAS PUMP READS

Ok, FU*KERS! Use your brains here. Our car holds 15.7 gallons of gas. When you're on "E" you STILL have three gallons in reserve. Do you drive your car till it COMPLETELY runs out of gas and your stranded on the side of the road EVERYTIME you need gas? If so I would like to meet you because you're definetly a first! SO...

15.7 gallons - 2.5 gallons = 13.2 Gallons. This is why I said divide between 13.5 and 14 if possible.

actually i just foudn out a much easier way i think one of those peoploe said it. heres what u do. next time ur at the gas station and fill up ur tank fully, you immidiatly reset ur tripometer. Next you drive normally, wait till u have a quarter tank left or w/e u would normally fill up (doesn't have to be anything can be empty or half full) you full it up at the station and see how much gas u just put into ur tank, u then divide the number of gallons with the amount of miles on ur tripometer. there ya go, and u dont need to know how much ur gas tank holds either.
