Is the low fuel light coming on? Or are you running the car out of gas until it stalls?.......These cars are known for a misleading gas level indicator. My car appears at the "E" level around 250 miles from the tank but I've never run my car until it ran out of gas or until the light came on. From what I hear, the tank can still get about 100 miles or more even though the needle doesn't show it. What I suggest is to have some extra gas with you and see how far you can actually go before you really run out of gas. I am eventually going to do the same thing because I do not like filling the tank up as frequently as I do now.

Also check to see how much gas you are putting in the tank at the gas station. If you only put in 5 gallons and the needle goes from E to F, then obviously you can drive much more because our tanks hold more than that. Not sure what the size our tanks can hold........12 to 15 gallons??
