Question Whats up guys

Whats up guys I was wondering how many miles you get on a full tank until the yellow light comes up. Usually I had around 200-210 miles and now its a third time I had 150 - 160 miles on a full tank with normal driving. My car is parked in a garage so it doesn't take that long to worm it up but this mileage with these gas prices is horrible.

Your CEL on? IF so might be front 02 sensor. Mine went and I was getting 150-160 on a tank. Normal at the time was 250.

I think that for the sake of accuracy and consistency, claims of "x miles per tank," we should base that on filling a tank up completely (topping it off until the pump stops) and state the mileage once the low fuel indicator comes on.

I tend to get between 260 and 280 miles per tank here in SoCal. I've gotten as little as 230 on a tank while I was having more fun with the boost. I did manage in an attempt to get as good mileage as possible during a road trip to get 360 miles on a tank. That was straight highway cruising with no traffic, no AC, and absolutly nooo boost.
