It's not impossible, if all the "elements" come together:

- Fair weather (not too cold, not too warm)
- All highway miles (no stop and go traffic)
- No excess weight (no passenger, no luggage)
- No extra load on the engine (no A/C, no radio/lights)
- Constant speed

Damn, and I thought hitting 320, all highway with A/C on, was good! If you havent filled up yet, check to see how much the pump lets you put in before it shuts off and post it here!

filled up w/11.7 gal which equals about 36 mpg.
i didn't fill up at sams this time so this won't be as 'accurate' as usual (using diff pump - doesn't fill the same).
this is all rural maine backroad driving w/almost no traffic. i go 60-65 mph and since i'm in maine i don't usually have to use ac. i've been rel easy on the hard acceleration. :D

light pops on w/about two gals in tank. gauge however sometimes doesn't move, sometimes moves real fast, sometimes goes backwards...

I got 37 mpg once. Air on, constant speed of 70 mph.

My light comes on with at least 3 gallons left.
It's come on, then turned back off for a long while, then came back on.
