Default What's your average miles driven for a full tank of gas?

Just wanted to check what you guys get.
I started noticing that my gas consumption is higher... I get about 380 miles on a full tank on normal driving - about 75 - 80% freeway...

Not sure if it was the Pop charger...
or when dealership fixed Hose recall issue...
I did start noticing after the hose recall fix was done...

thanks

400 and once the low fuel light comes on you can drive about another 100 miles.

I noticed that the low fuel light comes on at around 14.5 gallons for me, which is kind of early for a 20 gallon tank IMO. I drive around with the low fuel light for another 60 or so miles before filling up. That gets me to around 17 gallons to fill up which costs more than $50 right now.

Also my fuel gauge always registers lower than what I have in the tank. The needle goes all the way up when I fill the tank, but the gauge drops prematurely. When my low fuel light comes on, my guage is registering just above empty, but I know I still have about a quarter tank left. I figure they could fix it, but the tank fills up okay and I don't want them ripping my car apart just to fix an annoyance.

Oh by the way, I thought my gas mileage went up with the pop charger (maybe .5 to 1 MPG). I didn't notice a change when they did the fuel filler recall.

I get 27.2 - 27.8 mpg on road, 20 - 21 mpg in town, and 19+ on windy mountain runs..., never ran it below a quarter tank yet..., will have to check that out. (I did improve on mpg with the cai, headers, and duel exhaust, those gave it a big + in that department)
