My gas gauge is broke, so I always fill up around 250 miles or so. Usually takes 11-13 gallons of gas. On average, I get between 19 - 23 miles per gallon. I drive medium aggressivly in light traffic and mild cold. Nothing really out of the ordinary
Oh yeah I did forget to say, I believe it is a 15 gallon tank, I usually put in about 14 gallons when the things is on E and the light is on...
