ummmm can u tell me how many miles u get witha full tank??? cuz mines pretty shitty i barely push my car and i get like 250 to a full tank. Someone told me its because its a brand new car and when u add miles to it it will break in and get better gas milage, but will soon find out if thats true

i have 30k miles on my '03 si and i average 25-26 mpg (10.5-11.5km/l)

the fuel guage is VERY pessimistic, so i think my warning light appears with 3-3.5 gallons left in the tank.

the car has avereaged 30+mpg twice. both times were while travelling exclusively on the interstates.

i've gotten close to 350 miles with a full tank. I did not know how empty it was, but i do know that light comes on WAY early. There was a discussion about this in an older thread. There was a pic that the Ep's have a 14gallon tank i believe.

but with random hard driving, i get from 275 to 300miles.

yeah, the fuel gaude is not to be trusted. that thing drops fast. its a 13.2 gallon tank and i dont think ive ever filled more than 10 gallons. i average 25 in the city and about 28-30 on the highway, depending on how hard im driving. i usually get gas at 280miles because i dont like the little orange light, it makes me nervous.

your friends rsx probably gets a lot better mileage than yours... i know my type s usually doesn't get anything much lower than 29-30 miles per gallon, and as much as 35 at one time with all interstate driving.

the service manual that the dealers have spell it out on the issue of the fuel gauge. it is a 13.4 gallon tank. the light comes on when there is 2.9 gallons in the tank, so it should come on when you used 10.5 gallons. so it looks like a larger drop in gas milage, but you should be getting about 300-325 miles on a tank. if you go by that, you can ignore the light. you cant turn it off unfortunately, but you can ignore it
