i feel the reason mine is so bad is that it all city driving i cant remeber the last time i got the interstate for and extended period of time i usually just get on and get off 2 or 3 exits later and i do have a lead foot (i love the way this car pulls at higher rpms).

Are you stating that you drove 100 miles and when you filled up, it took 8.5 gallons?

The gas gauge in my '99 is not all that accurate, so trying to use it to determine what kind of mileage I am getting is a waste of time.
My gas gage is very inaccurate also. I ussually hit half with about 120 miles on the tripometer and ussually get 330 miles until the light goes on. That is living in LA with 50/50 city Hwy. My best was almost all highway and 415 miles until the reserve light.
