I get 15 mpg in the city so I think you are right.

put regular gas in it with no ethonal and it was up to 340 miles ... just look at the fuel pumps and see how much crap they put in the gas.

just a tought.

Ethanol in the gas does decrease your fuel mileage. Unfortunately around here, all the gas stations have 10% Ethanol added. I may be able to get pure gas from one of the marinas, but right now I'm not complaining much. I just filled up and figured the mpg and got 24.5 in the city mostly. I do on occasions get on the Interstate.

My best tank was 420 all highway but the gas light still had not come on (but was very close) I too average around 300 miles per tank mixed city/highway driving with some lead foot included you definitely have something wrong if you average 150/tank
