Yep same here.... 4 gallons left when gas light comes on. But i'm getting about 17-18mpg.... still just as bad

Problem is a lot of people here either drive like total asswipes or fail to properly calculate their fuel economy. They don't understand just how much fuel remains when the light illuminates and proceed to fill 13 gallons when the car is rated with a 19.8 gallon tank.
Imagine if these people filled up properly when or near the car is actually empty then calculated, I'm sure the majority of 50/50 drivers would be seeing 300ish MPG. I imagine 400 miles to a tank as easily achievable with plenty of highway cruising.
Short trips, your retarded foot/lack of awareness when driving + improperly maintained cars are the biggest culprits. That and the fact that it is a 3400+ pound car with a motor designed for truck like torque and you get the picture.
Besides, even if you purchased a different car that averaged 5mpg more you'd be sacrificing driving pleasure for fuel economy. Just look at the extra $4-600 a year in gas as a "driving a car I enjoy fee."
Yes these threads **** me off. Hey! I bought a car with low EPA estimates and now I'll complain!

Amen brotha, sounds like a lot of these poor mileage posts are made by young guys who cant budget their money and didnt think about gas money when buying the car or by spoiled little kids who had mommy and daddy buy their G35 and now cant afford to drive it, let alone pay for it or insurance on it.

I drive about 50% city, 50% highway. I've had the car for a few weeks and I've been getting 320-350mi per tank. MAKE SURE YOU USE 91+ octane fuel. I fill mine with premium which is 93 at the station I go to. My car runs smooth as butter I love it
Unless you're driving with a real heavy foot somethings going on... that is pretty low.
