remember, dude, you have about 13.x gallons on on your car, and when your cars says empty with light on, you still have around 3 gallons left

I'm getting 35-40 on the highway and 25 around town. When my plugs started to get fouled, I noticed the gas mileage go down badly... another thing to check is the PCV valve, and your motor oil. I use 5k intervals with 10W30 Mobil 1 Full Synthetic, and it seems to work great for me. OTher than that I have Magnecor Wires, NGK IRidium plugs, and a RRM SRI.

When the fuel light comes on, it's not because you're low, it's because the fuel pump is no longer completely submerged. If you do this repeatedly, you shorten the life of your fuel pump.

What kind of gas do you all use?

I use Unleaded Regular on my 02 ES.... Should I use another for better mileage?

I use 89 octane and the best I ever did was 365 miles on a tank from San Diego to Las Vegas when my car was bone stock. According to a fill up before I left my car had about 1.5-2 gallons when the needle was on "E". So I figured I used about 11 gallons on 365 miles (cruise set at 70mph) averages out to 33.2 mpg. Actually did a little better gas mileage on my way back.

Does having an auto really kill that much gas over a stick?
