Are you dividing miles traveled (use trip odo.) by gallons reqd. to fill tank ?
Or are you trusting your gas gauge...I know these gauges man...they can't be trusted!!!
Also, with larger tires, you won't register true mileage on the odo...larger than stock diameter = less revolutions per mile. Search "tire calc." for clarification.

that may be it. i might not be gettign a correct milage reading.

do i really have that much larger tires than stock?

i will try the "tire calc" search and see how incorrect a reading i am getting. (praying that is the problem)

I get about 290-300 miles before the fuel light comes on. Last mileage check was 16.1 in mostly city driving.

well my tires are like 1.6% off, (according to the tire calc) so i dont think that is the problem. (unless 1.6% really is a big diffrence) i feel like a "noob" when it comes to this stuff, but i just filled up today and i am getting around 12-13 mpg. after doing a little division of course. so unless i got the wrong size for the stock tire, is there any other thing that might be wrong? or is this mialage what we are supposed to be getting?
