Hmm, when mine hits '0' miles I can usually only put in 12.9-13.2 gallons..

I wonder if my fuel sender is acting funny.

No, it depends heavily on your driving habits...

Hmm, not really - I usually see 260-275 miles before I fill up, but I rarely ever put more than 13.5

gallons, go figure?

In fact, I've driven ~60 miles past the 0 mile warning, and only put in 15.7 gallons

I think I need to make an appointment or something...

That does sound a little off, hard to say though.

I generally get 375-85 and always fill at least 14.5 gallons often more. And I've always pushed the "past 0" thing, probably up til 30 or so miles, but recently found you can't always be so lucky. Doh. :-\ (thankfully, was just heading up the onramp to get gas)

Nah, if you drive in lots of stop-n-go traffic, you'll see that.

I think its a combination of ****ty milage and the upside-down U shaped tank... I think it takes time for the little pump to equalize fuel levels on both sides of the tank, and you can hit "0" when there's still fuel on the other side of the tank... I'll often hit 0, park for a while and then its back to 25...
