Am I doing something wrong?
Well I live in Jersey and the roads near me are mostly suburban, except for the occasional stop sign.
I seem to be getting around 230-250 miles per tank, but this seems kinda low to me......
I try to keep it in 5th gear as much as possible.
And I try to cruise around 1400 rpm.
I am thinking I am cruising wayyy to low.
Am I ????
Thanks!

when you fill up the tank, are you really putting in
15-16 gallons each time?

I noticed even when my car says its at 30 miles till empty I fill up it goes to 13-14 gallons which makes me wonder how far below the e line the needle goes and how accurate the little 50 miles to E message really is.

Yeah, your lugging your engine too much. 2000 to 2750 is where your making enough power to move the car while still being stingy on the Go-Juice. I average around 21 to 22 myself right now, but I also spend most of my time at 80 mph on my commute.
