I try to never let my tank get below 1/4 tank. Why would you?

This implies you drive less.. since you stated the one extra day only costs you 1 gallon.. vs. over 2 gallons per day prior. Or, perhaps u get better mileage now?

The only time I drive my car is back and forth to work and that trip doesn't change. And according to the DIC, my MPG is always within .5 MPG when I reset it after filling up. But somehow my receipts when I was filling up at 1/4 tank says I would always get 14.5-14.8 gals and when I fill up the next day when the low fuel warning comes on my receipts say 15.5-15.8. |

Seriously, I keep my foot out of it most of the time. I also got 33K miles out of my original tires, while reading on this very forum some guys were changing theirs after only 15K. Guess I'm not having as much fun as some, just enough for me.

it's either in your head or your numbers are wrong. filling up less often will not increase your MPG. if your MPG's are staying the same, then your spending the same amount of money. so long as your doing the same amount of driving. you may fill up less often, but your spending more when you fill up. the only way you would save money by filling up less often would be if you could somehow buy 18 gallons of gas for the same price as 14 gallons.

That's what I thought, mine comes on right after about 35 - 40 miles remaining, and usually only has about a gallon to a gallon and a half left. I've never had 4 gallons remaining when filling up.

OMG here we go again. You woke up the fuel pump Nazi's when you post a thread like this you know.
I always run mine to below 1/4 and close to the 1/8 mark and I have yet to see the message in the DIC. I don't think I have ever put in over 14.5 gallons either. Dean. |
