Okay, yes, I first did a search and found several threads from lonnnnnnnng ago discussing mpg, but not what I'm looking for specifically.
I had to have my fuel pump replaced this spring (long story) and the mechanic couldn't get the fuel gauge working properly. (He's going to give it another go this winter for me.) So I'm using that wonderful old-school method of resetting the trip meter every fill up. I also check my mpg and it's always right about 50 mpg exactly.
But not really knowing when that tiny little tank will run dry, I am filling up about every 125 miles or so.
So, all this to ask: Have you ever ran your tank to empty, or almost? How many miles did it take? I'd like to go longer than 125 mile fillups but still be sure I'm not going to sputter to the side of the road.
