What miles per tank do yall get?
At what point the goofy SVX gauge hits "E" is irrelevant. The question is, how much gas does the car hold with the gauge reading empty? Punch the trip odometer at every fill-up and use elapsed mileage as your backup fuel gauge.

I doubt you'll improve much on 18-25 MPG, even with a stick. I've gotten over 30 freeway MPG on two occasions in the past year... but my daily average is around 21, and I've seen as low as 16+.
