City and highway I get about 330-360 on a full tank with all my mods as well.
Filled up yesterday and it cost me 3.41 for chevron 91.

if i'm on a hwy trip, i pull into the gas station right after the low fuel light comes on.. you usually have about another 50 miles or maybe more if you push it. i fill it to the brim and it has never been over 17.3x gallons.. that means i still had 3.x gallons in the tank. now divide the amount of miles since last fillup, by the # of gallons you just put in.. voila.. fuel mileage. i'm averaging 22-23 mpg cruising and not cruising...hehehe

19 or 20 gallons? WTF!?!?!?

My gas light has gone on once and that was pushin it. When i filled up, i only got 17.5 gallons so what does that tell me, i believe i only have a 18 gallon fuel tank. NOT a 21 gallon. Anyone care to opinionate???
How bad is it for your car to run out of gas??

the tank is 21.1 gallons.. says so in the owners manual. the low fuel light comes on when you have a very few gallons left.. usually less than 4, this is designed to alert you in time to get to a gas pump. You will NEVER use all of the 21.1 gallons the tank can hold.. it is almost an impossibility, and you are really pushing your luck if you ever fill up and have to put in 20 gallons.

Ok, so on my way home from school I decided to fill up. I still had a 1/4 of a tank left, but thats when I usually fill up so I went ahead and stopped. Then as I was gettin out the car, I was like hey, CL. So I decided to take a couple pictures for you guys and girls.
First one is my ODO right as I was gettin out the car before fillin up.
Not bad right...273.5 miles.
Now for how many gallons it took.
Anyway, I was excited to see how many mpg that was...19.3
Thought yall mind find this as good as I did. BTW, My driving habits havent changed, I still drive like I always did, but now I have my exhaust and the intake I need to finish, as of right now its just a filter attached to my MAF..soon to be a CAI. Thats another project for another day.

not bad, now pickup an SAFC2 or some other piggyback, put it in the hands of a capable tuner on a dyno and yank the stock air/fuel ratio outta the dirt to a power friendly 13:1 and you'll see power AND mileage.

oh.. if you DO run your car out of gas, you may want to change the fuel filters. There is one on the pump in the tank, and one in front of the driver's rear wheel well. The reason why is that in the bottom of any fuel tank with a few years on it is sediment and just crud.. if you run the tank that low, it will be pulled off the bottom along with what little gas it can scavenge.
Just a thought.

My 95 gets roughly 350mi per tank with city driving, while I have gotten 450 on all highway. My 95 Tacoma has an 18 gallon tank, consuming 325 mi per tank, normal driving. The truck uses a lot of gas too, but given the comparison, it is more beneficial to use the truck as my daily driver. I may drive the Lex 2-3 times a month. I love having a garage!

260$ = 83 gallons = 1700 miles!! Is it worth it??

As far as mileage, I can't believe this crap, I get 250 MAX to a FULL tank, and that's highway driving! Of course, I do keep my foot planted firmly on the accelerator everywhere I go, but that's still a HUGE deviation.

I guess they don't want people to see their cars on the side of the road no matter what, lol.....It's actually the first car I've ever owned that I haven't run out of gas with....
