How big is my gas tank?
- Thread starter DarkCreep
- Start date
do not even get me started on the cost of fuel, here in the UK the AVERAGE cost of regular unleaded in £1.10 per litre, it costs me like £40 to fill up - which is equivalent to $80usd. if i lived in the states now after livin here, 28mpg would not bother me at all...but yeah, that aint great
i have to fill up twice a week with premium. right now 93 octane is about $3.60 so im spending about $70 a week on gas, aka petrol 
my dad's F150 he uses for work costs about $90 a tank and he fills it up 2-3 times a week

Well, the good thing is I do believe that many peopel in the UK do not have to drive as much as many people in the US. Most places in the US don't have the public transit set up like much of Europe has.
i got 29 mpg all city driving and kinda driving hard (new car) im at 320 miles and still have a couple gallons left in the tank now. bolt on b16a2.
Did you run totally out of gas?
The size of your gas tank has nothing to do with your gas mileage. It's how much gas you happened to put in it that time.
Price of gas in Canada:
$1.25 CAD ($1.24 USD) for 1 liter of gasoline = $4.73 CAD ($4.71 USD) for 1 gallon of gasoline
The other day I purchased gas for $3.48 USD a gallon. That'd be $3.50 CAD a gallon or $0.92 CAD per liter.
Price of gas in the US:
$0.92 USD ($0.92 CAD) for 1 liter of gasoline = $3.48 USD ($3.50 CAD) for 1 gallon of gasoline
I think I did all those conversions right.
I think you're pretty much bang on.
Except you might have converted it into US litre.. I dunno.
But everything is so expensive in canada because of taxes, a 12 pack of MDG beer here is over 30 bucks. I think it's around 8 bucks in the states! even though ours has more alcohol
how much gas do you have left when the light comes on? mine has to be almost right on the very bottom of the orange for it to come on, and by then you would think your sol(only happened once I dont run her empty)
lol i like how that got the biggest reaction in the whole thread.WTF $30 for beer?!?!
but damn, $30 for a 12-pack? you can get a 30 and an 12 and maybe a few tall cans for that much here lol
My gas mileage breaks down like this, (D16y7 with intake, exhaust, and about 127,000 miles).
Hard driving= about 25 mpg
normal driving= about 27 mpg
careful driving= about 30 mpg
How I drive depends on how much I'm willing to spend on gas

not any more, our law is about to pass to allow 8.5% alcohol in beers instead of 6%.I think you're pretty much bang on.

s**t, for real?
lol dont get excited now
Ressurecting the thread!!
I filled up with 10.6 gallons last friday and I got 320 miles to it. I bet I could have gone a tiny bit further but when I turned on my car, it took like 10 seconds to turn on since it had no gas. I didnt want to risk it so I put gas.
So if my calculations are correct, I got 30.18MPG. And thats with highway and stop and go driving and hitting my fake VTEC every once in a while.
Hows my MPG now?
Oh, and if I clean the fuel injectors (the right way) and get a new fuel filter, will the MPG's go up?

I heard you are supposed to remove them and dip them in a solution. Not 100% sure though.
