How is your Gas Mileage like?

Just wanted to see how everyone else's gas mileage is like. I am getting now an average of 19-21 mpg. About 230-240 miles on a tank. The strange thing is that I recall the manual saying the tank capacity is 15 gallons or what not, but when I refill having like 20-30 miles left of the car bc I end up only filling up to 11.4 gallons. Anyone else experience this?

Also is there a gas light that should come on when you are low on gas? I've never gotten to that point. The furthest I've taken it is when the bc says that my miles left is just a "--" so I assume I should get gas. Just wanted to see everyone else's experience etc.

I average between 200 and 220 miles, filling up about the same amount as you. Mods are Works drop-in and TurboXS mbc set to 23psi. When you get down low, there is a little warning sign that comes up. Hit the little INFO button and it'll tell you that you're low on fuel.

Um, I get an average of like 12 around city and about 19-20 on the highway. This car gets god awful mileage. If you guys are getting 19 mpg city than you are driving the car like a bunch of vaginas.
