First tamk MPG
#24
1500 miles, filled up 4 times...lowest was first tank at 26.5 MPG, then 18.5, 31,5 and tonight, 28...a bit of a disappointment so far but I'll try to take it easy on the next couple of tanks...my old Spec-V averaged the same!

The mileage you get is heavily dependent upon what sort of conditions you drive the car in. Our xB is mostly driven in suburban conditions (25-55MPH speed limits with frequent stop lights) and we have done 28.6MPG for the first 10,000 miles. The low fuel light tends to come on around 260 miles and we refill around 300 miles.
However, put freeway trips into the mix and mileage goes way up. You may not see the low fuel light until 300 miles, refuel at 350, and get 34MPG.
Then again, if your freeway trips are of the 85MPH variety you mileage won't be as good!

I see a lot of people talk about filling up their car when it is on empty. Most new cars have the fuel pump (Electric) right in the gas tank. This way it uses the fuel as a heat conductor and helps keep the pump cool. So running the car on empty makes the fuel pump get warmer and can shorten the life.
I don't think it is that critical but filling up before it gets low could give you longer life to the pump.
