x2^ the last two lines

I fill up when it gets to just below 1/4 tank.

sciontC

I try and fill up at half tank when I can but I usually just fill it up at 1/4th.

mcheng08

about 1/4 left on the meter.

MVPlaya

How many miles do you guys usually get when it's at half tank or 1/4?

viper3

every 2 weeks when it gets down to half a tank, or once a month if I were to let it run dry. I have been getting about an average of 19 MPG in all city driving.

i fill it when the needle gets just above "R" at that point ive usually driven right around 330-350 miles.

edit: i just figured out the mileage from my tC's last fill up...339mi/11.85gal for my last fill up comes to 28.6 mi/gal.

last time i was driving with the lights on(gas light) i made a stiff curve and the engine turned off...

I'm one of those thats lazy and waits for the light to go on, then keeps pushing it off because I don't feel like going to the gas station. Hah. I just filled mine up yesterday and it was $32. Bleh.

06CStC

Usually when the light comes on, or even a bit later than that.

draxcaliber

i love playing chicken with the gas gauge and warning light.

usually after the first line (first 1/4) im at 100 miles.. then the half line im at 200 miles... and towards fill up 300 miles.. so 100 miles per quarter

ACass05tC

i usually fill up at 1/4, sometimes (rarely) i let it go a little more than half way between empty and 1/4 but i don't like doing that.

rrussello

I generally fill between 1/2 and 1/4. I'm just happy this car takes the "cheap" fuel. My previous car took 91 octane and barely got over 20mpg highway.

Call me crazy, but I fill it up when I'm almost empty.
I commute 40 miles each direction to work. There are gas stations on each end of the trip but none in the middle, so I just have to think ahead. When I start the car, I look at the gauge and decide whether I have enough to make the trip, or if I need to fill up before I go- if there is more than 1/4, I know I can make it. Generally speaking, I rarely fill it up before the light comes on.
I've used basically that same mentality since I started driving, and I've never run out of gas.

My average fill-up is just over 12 gallons, and I usually get about 340 miles on a tank.

SpdLmtNA

The furthest Ive taken it (on numerous occassions) is to where the Needle is physically pointing at the low gas LED. At that point, I filled up to find I had approx half a gallon left.

I never top off, to save the charcoal element.

And please, delete your spread sheet, enjoy your car, and stop counting! :D

i havent filled it yet and I've done 17,000 miles. The only thing you have to fill is oil when you change it and any of the other fluids. There is a gas glitch in this car which lets you drive it until 100,000 without ever having to fill it up. When it gets down to 1/4 or the reserve light comes on just keep on driving. You just have to trust me that your car will keep going...

nahh but seriously I fill it when the light comes on...

A reminder with warm weather on its way: Try to fill up your car when the outside temp is low, mornings or nights not during the middle of the day. The pumps are calibrated at about 60 degrees and when it is over that, the gas actually expands and you will get less gas for the same gallon reading. The gas companies know they get an advantage because the temps in the US are often over that. In Canada, they have regulations and equipment in place to keep it correct. Do you know why? Because the cold temps in Canada makes this a loss for the oil companies so they fixed it...
