RE: Ridiculously bad gas mileage
Dont use the guage to measure, fill it up and divide it out. The way you drive makes a big difference though, I usually get about 18mpg city with mine, but when I stomp on it a lot I can really tell. Bad O2's can cause bad mileage as well.

you have a 15.4 gallon tank, 2 gallons are reserve and yes driving carefully 250 miles to the gallon is possible
my last tank got me 16MPG cause I did some 'spirted' driving a couple of times [8D]

If you drive conservitably 1/2 the time and semi hard the other half you should be able to stretch it to about 320 Km's to the tank. If you switch to 3.73 gears its unbelievable but you'll get around 400 + Km's to the tank a **** you not!
