How much fuel (in gallons) is in the tank when the meter is on "E"

I have a 1998 SH.

 

who knows. maybe a gallon or two.

get a gas can full of gas.

write down milage you have when on E (low gas light would be best). (A)
drive till you run out of gas
write down milage you have now.(B)

fill tank,
figure out miles per gallon. (milage / # of gallons to fill)
subtract A from B to get "C"

"C" / MPG = "D" or ammount of miles drivable with light on.

 

I'm getting really crappy gas mileage that's why i'm asking.

I had a total of 280 miles on my last tank, which was filled to full. Although, i've hit VTEC quite a few times, much much more then I usually do. Maybe that is the case, but I can't see a total of maybe 6 or 7 minutes in VTEC taking off 100 miles of gas.

change your fuel filter. i was getting 19 MPG before i did that. now i am seeing 25-28MPG. and i beat the **** out of my car every time that i drive it.

 

Would you recommend a stock Honda one, or an aftermarker fuel filter?

OEM for ALL filters on your car.
