    amount of gas

    I was wondering if its right for me to go about 120 miles on half a tank. I do about the same with my 3.0L 300zx. seems like i should get better with the 2.0.

    i was getting between 100-180 miles on half tank. it all depends on how you are driving. if you want better gas mileage, you better learn how to drive like old people.

    ok, this is kinda relevant. what size of a tank do we have on the 3g's? i got gas this morning and it was at maybe an 1/8 of a tank and i got $8 worth. that is just over 5 gallons. it's $1.34 right now. it filled it to maybe a 1/4 of a tank used. so what size is our tank? is it 10, 12 gallons? i'll have to clock the mileage from here to school tommorow and back and get some MPG numbers.

    the fuel light should come on when you have 2.5 gallons left in the tank.

    If I got 120 on a half of a tank I would have to kill my car.

    Yeah one time I got over 500 and I almost wet myself. It was a joyous moment rolling into the gas station.

    So how was being banned, kroy?
