During the week commuting back and forwarth I get approx 380 before my light comes on, according to my meter it says i have approx 30 milesish to go ... I've never hit the 0 before but I've heard some users on CL say you have about 2.13 gallons or so left after you hit the 0 mark.. but i have a MT.

Do you drive mostly city/highway? do you drive a bit fast and lead footed or do you take it slow? How far do you let it go till you fill up? could be a lot of things haha

I have gotten 454 miles on a tank. Car was so empty it wouldn't start. During the winter I'd get about 390 but since the weather has been nice I've got 320 with almost 3/8 left. My commute is 95% highway, driving speed limit, 70 mph mostly and a bit of 65. I used to get 320 driving spirited and 50-50 highway-city.

The lowest I've been is when the needle starts covering the top half of 'E' and still start.
