I've never burned a pump up honestly. ill sometimes drive around with less then 1/4 for months.

if your.car is running right, you should be able to get at least 25mpg freeway. 25 mpg x 22 gallons = about 550 miles range. theoretically, you should be able to drive for a bit over 9 hours straight on a tank of gas. I've done this a couple of times. without running out of gas, I've squeezed over 650 miles to a tank a couple of times.

city, our cars suck. when I delivered pizza, id average 14 (worst) to 19 (best) generally getting about 15 mpg. 16 mpg probably means you drove little to no freeway.

Assuming you ran the tank completely dry, that is getting 29.5 MPG for the entire tank. I think you had faulty data somewhere. Sounds highly improbable:shakeass:

Have any of you guys read the writing on the pump handle lately???It says QUOTE >>>>> Never TOP OFF!!!

I can attest to that. I recently topped of my 96 silverado, and I started getting SES lights. It pulled the extra fuel into the evaporative emissons system. It eventually cleared and went away.

you buy the gas and ill run you through a whole tank. straight freeway and a good running car its pretty easy. I've done it in 3 different cars now. last time I ran up to Montana, (900+ miles) I got home with about 1/2 tank left after only filling up before and once during the trip.
