are you filling the tank completely? How many miles on the trip odometer do you get to empty? Should get over 300 miles per tank mixed driving.

What he said!

Fill tank
Set odometer to zero
Drive 300 miles
Refill tank to full
Divide 300 miles by gallons to fill up = your MPG
don't go by the vehicle computer unless you reset it at every fil up
Many have reported problems with the gas gauge reading

Follow the troubleshooting steps in the FSM to check resistance on the fuel pump sender. Should be in section DI.
