Default Filled up today after driving on "0" for about 25 miles. Took 20.758 gal. Avg was 12.47 mpg. Ouch!

I was comfortable driving on zero as it usually takes about 18.5 gallons at that point (21.7 gal tank).

I put a tank of 76 (brand) in to see if the pinging is affected...I almost always use Chevron.

Here's a thought: what will the RS 6 get in mpg terms?!?!

BTW, the 12.47 mpg is actual, the computer reported that we'd done 13.3.

Default For about...25 miles...

I've gone to the zero warning several times and there is always 3 gallons left, so after another 25 I guessed about a gallon and it was pretty accurate.

Especially for California. At least in the Northeast there are homes that are over 300 years old.
