Default Another Gas Thread

I've noticed that when I fill up it goes over the amount that the tank should hold.

13.7 gallons to top her off. I still had 2 bars on the gauge. Supposedly it has a 13.2 gallon tank.

108.3 miles before I lost a notch on the gas gauge, usually around 80-90 miles before the gauge starts dropping.

So far I've been getting 29 mpg average. 32 mpg is the best.

What is the most you've been able to squeeze in without spilling over?

07 Si sedan 5323 miles so far

On another note I'm about to go drive my old 87 Si (it's my sisters car now)...it's been a year or so...back the the 1st Si !!!


I can' spell thread

i thought it was 12 with a 1.6 reserve. I have never gotten more than 11 in mine. with one bar and the light on. However, you should all know, the car still has gas when the guage is completely empty (no bars)... this was told to me by a FEW of my car buddies, crazy people.

I get about 300 miles out of 11 galons..

what kills me is the misuse of words on HT..

every tire post I read about refers to "tread" as "thread"
and
the title of this thread refered to the "thread" as "tread"

ok, sorry guys... off my soapbox now

With three bars left I get about 10.xx gallons in. I've driven it down to 1 bar and only had to put about 11.8x gallons in. I only did that once though, scared I was running on fumes. I took corners really slow too.

I get about 25 mpg all city driving. Got 30 mpg taking a road trip. As advertise I guess. Now only if my car would stop burning/losing oil.
