In theory, at 165 miles you should have another eight or nine gallons left, but in reality it's probably not quite that much. We all should be able to go 300 miles on a tank, but I guess we don't all make it that far.

I don't even think about filling up until I get the low fuel warning light. I don't pay any attention to the gauge because it's so far off. When I see 275 miles, I start looking around for an oil station.

The real key is how many gallons you put in at the pump. I make sure that mine always sucks down at least sixteen gallons.
