more invisible miles, since you're just paying for gas you're pumping back into the nozzle

how much to fill he tank, you ask? depends on how empty the tank is to start with.

how fast from 0-60? depends on traffic, how hard you push the pedal, manual or automatic, uphill or downhill, what gear you start in... that sort of thing.

The tank size should be 14.5.

Times $3 gas. Equals $43.50 a tank.

HWY mpg is 31. 449.5 miles
I think City is 23 mpg. 333.5 miles

* correct my math if you may *

I don't get this post at all...

seems kinda straightforward....

good luck trying running the tank down enough to get 14.5 in it

13.5 or so is the lowest I've ever gotten, and going around the last corner, she almost died on me.

if you put in 14.5 gallons.. you must've been pushing your car into the station.. at which then you're stupid for running out of gas.

and DO NOT TOP OFF YOUR TANK

EPA.... Darn Envirnmental People... Good points though... I like my car too much to risk fuel dripping down the side...

PLUS... I live in one of two lovely states where for some insane reason, it is illegal to pump your own gas... so I have to sit in my car and gamble that some minimum wage hack doesn't smack the nozzle into my car or drip fuel down the side.... Lame State of Mine.

^^ double true.

Do you spend more money overall by filling up more often throughout the week or not if you fill it up once a week?

yep, oregon and new jersey are the only 2 states by law that a full service be required at a gas station. i'm from oregon by the way and i just recently went to NJ to visit some family and they're like that too.
