The SVX has a very pessimistic gas tank. I know on mine, when it hits the line for "E", I have about 4 gallons left.
I hit E at around 6 gallons left. Even after a couple tanks of Techron treatment. I just feel happy at the pump when I'm putting in 12 gallons.

Heck, my fuel light even sometimes comes on with 5-6 gallons left in the tank. Then it goes off...usually.

Generally, I average between 18-21 MPG around town and about 26-29mpg on the highway.
