New owner so I have only filled up 2 times...both times was about 15 miles after the gas light came on and both times it stopped at 17 gallons but my gas gauge shows full?

I see the thread below but that one states that the gas gauge isnt showing its full?

also my calculations im getting 19-20 mpg combined about 60% hwy 40% city....pretty normal?

 

yep

 

Yes 19-20 is normal, way better than me . It only fills up to 17 because theres a few gallons left after the light...

 

Yeah, I think the light comes on when there is 4 gallons left in the tank. And be happy with 19-20 mpg. I wish I was getting that lol

 

yea im ok with it my previous car a gtp only got 22 and this is much more fun to drive....

 

yeah i get around 17gal in on avg each fill-up. supposed to be a 20gal tank capacity so "actually" you could drive maybe another 50 miles before you go putputput lol

 

Sounds about right man. The gas light tends to come on when you reach 4 gallons. I typically get 20.5-22mpg so sounds about average for you man!

 

i get like 18 average. drove like 20 miles after the light came on today (was late for work) and then filled up before i drove home. i put a little over 16 gals

 

i notice that when i fill my car up all the way i tend to get lower gas mileage than when i just bring it up to halfway. maybe when its at full i get a little greedy and hit that gas pedal a little harder

 

Gas weighs about 6lbs a gallon. For example, if your half full, then your not carrying an extra 60lbs

 

How do u get 22? I'll do whatever it takes lol but seriously?

 

drive slower, give the car less gas to accelerate and if its a 6mt shift more often

 

Yep normal.

GTP= Gayer Than Packers (sorry WI fans)

 

(Two) Times Since I have Owned by car did a let it go to the last mark (only b/c it was freezing outside and didn't want to freeze anymore than what I was). When I did fill up both times it took 17.4 gals....and you are lucky I go an average of about 276 miles per tank (normally 17 gallons), which is 16.23 mpg.....and my foot is NOT heavy to the pedal....I'm JUST A TYPICAL GURL DRIVER....SO FEEL PRIVILEGED YOU ARE GETTING THAT MANY MPG.....ENJOY IT!

 

try resetting your ecu (if you've never done it). might help you get a few extra mpg, but probably not much.
