^ that is not accurate what so ever because u probably fill up when the empty light comes on. I have driven 60-70 miles when the empty light on.

I get about 250 miles per tank, but when I fill up it's only about 15 gallons. I mean, 16mpg still sucks for a car that supposedly gets 21mpg in a mix of city and highway. But I've kind of just come to accept it and enjoy the car for what it is.

It's very acurate; I do the math, I don't have NAV to go by... I've gotten as much as 27MPG on long trips and regulary average 24-25 on my work commute (40 miles).

Some of the Gs on this board are getting shocking mileage. I average about 20-21 MPG. I drive city and highway about equally. Once I get on the freeway, I set the CC at 70. I find this helps balance out my full throttle starts on the city streets

My guess would be that most G owners get gas mileage in the same range. I've never gotten less than 340 miles and I have gotten 400 a few times on a tank of gas. I have never added more than 18 gals on a fillup and that was with the gas gauge buried on the empty line. I'd estimate that my low fuel warning light comes on with about 5 gals left in the tank, and the fuel gauge showing less than a 1/4 tank.

I too get 20-22 MPG in city and highway and I drive in A LOT of traffic. I do like to gun it from time to time. Something's not adding up though with the big variation of ranges.

unplug the sensor, take out the sensor, take maf cleaner and spray it with 3-5 second interval shots about 6 times, let it dry and reinstall
