I just refuled yesterday at 237 miles to the tank, and I was not even in the red .. I had a feeling the needle was going to drop though, still have not totally figured out the temperment of the gauge yet. Those are all city miles ..with a few uses of the AC as well... I have not had it on the freeway yet. I have only had it for 2 months..
95 GT Vert. all stock except possibly a catback..
