Yeah, same here. Going around the city, I'll usually average 18-20 mpg (with little to no highway), while on the highway, I can usually get 24-26 mpg, though my total average to date is something like 21.7 mpg.

The fuel tank isn't a square and the sender sweep isnt linear nor is the scale on the gauge.

90 mls to 3/4
160 mls to 1/2
200 at 1/4
250-260 to light.

Mixed driving so 21-22mpg

I've been getting 200 miles in 12.5 gallons all winter. I was doing 250-275 in 12.5 gallons during the summer. So I'm guessing the 10 degree or less weather and having to warming up my car longer are destroying my mileage.

But I get to 120-130 miles at the half way mark, and 200 when the light comes on. If I ran it past the light to empty I could probably hit 240. I'd say my gauge works pretty good

Yea my mileage takes a dive during winter as well. Winter blend of fuel is partly to blame, as is the increased idling as you mentioned. I get 16-17 dd'ing in winter while I'm around 19-20mpg in summer.

Not at all, 93. I'm tuned to 23 lbs, not sure how much I'm putting down. My tuner just got an awd dyno recently so I'll find out. Plus hopefully he can dial in my mpg's on the retune.
