I get anywhere from 350-390 before the light comes on. Then it takes about 14.5 gallons to fill up the tank. I average 24-27mpg depending on how many of the miles are freeway vs street.

Anybody ever had any problems with the gas gauge. Mine has started to jump around a little. For example, I filled with $10 last time. The gas was the same price as the last time I filled and the tank was about the same amount of emptiness. The needle usually goes right up to the 3/4 full line, but this time, it went only half way, and about 15 or so minutes later, while driving, it went up the to 3/4 line. The needle has been jumping around as well. Any thoughts?
