yeah, mines about a 3 gallon reserve. But I only get about 18mpg in the city

Yeah, mines the same, 16 to 18 city.

I still have it in my budget to fill weekly. Since I am working, I fill bi-weekly, so I still I had my gas money for the week.

I started driving my truck again, it takes a lot more to fill than my car.

 

[MrsGungho]

Heck, most of the time, I have to fill up once a day.

I didn't even get it right

I am so dang tired

I am filling every other week. Since I work, I drive less because I actually have to do something besides go here, there and everywhere. I am exactly 3 minutes from work, and that's a bad traffic day

3 minute commute will not even get the car warmed up??

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I just find it hard to believe they designed it with a nearly 3 gal reserve. My car gets 25-27 MPG on the highway, that's 75 miles when it shows empty???

That's not too uncommon, when the light would come on in my Jeep, I could drive to work and back 2 times, and back one more. About 90 miles total.

remote start and I warm it before I go out, well now that it's cold I do. plus on normal days I am sitting at the bus stop about 5 minutes or so before they pick the boy up.

Well, I'm curious now. I might take your advice, put my 2 gal gas can in the trunk and see how far I can go sometime.

Get in the car, start it and drive away....cold...it warms up eventually.

I'm honored.

 

[GregD]

Hi Sam, you only made one cup?

 

[SEIndSAM]

I have a one cup coffee maker. I always keep hotel room coffee packets then use them at home.

 

[GregD]

You can't beat the price.
I drink too much coffee to deal with a one cup
