I do all city driving, stop and go and a lot of hills where I live, I get 275. I checked the air filter and oil filter and thats all good. I bought some fuel injection cleaner, maybe that will help. Other then that i've been pretty pissed about it. But yea, I seriously do 90% city driving and I try to conserve gas, shifting at 3 rpms and a lil over that if i'm going uphill, I avoid using reverse and all that other gas saving tips, keeping the tires inflated and all that.

I get about 365 miles on about 12 and a half gallons, with mixed city and hway driving. I havent yet filled up on a completely empty tank. How empty does it have to be til the gaslight comes on? I let it get slightly below the E before i fill up but the gaslight still doesnt come on and it was still only 13 gallons when it hit automatic shutoff, so i dont see how it could be 17.1 gallons totally empty
