Whats the most youve filled up?

I think 12.5 gallons in the 98. I know the later cars had slightly larger tanks. About 260 miles I get to a tank in mostly city driving. Goes up to 320 on the highway.

considering i have a bad fuel pump, i've never gone much further that 7 or 7.5 gallons. My que to fill up is when the gauge shows half a tank remaining

did you do the fix for this? ever? I had the problem where at about a 1/4 of a tank the car would cut out and act like it was out of gas. I did the fix and it is fine now.

Your gallons are different than the UK ones, we are 4.54 L to the gallon.

So on cost.

When we were at our worst i paid £55 to fill up, at a rough estimate that is $104

Ouch

umm is 3.77857 or something. don't ask its common knowledge in my house.
 
Sputtered into the gas station a few times. First time it happened, I actually coasted the last 50 ft to the pumps.

Don't remember how much I put in, but she was E M P T Y !
 
well....

well....

I've managed to fill up about 13.5 gallons... or was it 14.5. well whatever it was the gas tank was quite empty.
 
64 gallons in my truck, it has a 38 gallon tank and a 32 gallon reserve/2nd tank it was a $165 dollars and change. I curled up into a ball on the ground and cried. It scarred me for life. My contour has only got just uder 13 on a fillup. needless to say you can see what car I drive the most.

Back in Germany, we ran one of our gov't trucks nearly empty... put a bit over 110L in there.

Off base prices in Germany were around 1.40€/L ($6.97USD/gallon) last I checked, so that's 154€ or $202USD for one tank!

And y'all wonder why Europeans drive stupid little cars with diesel engines!
 
i dont remember exactly but somewhere between 14 - 15. i ran out of gas on the way to the station. Was running with the light since the day befor. had to call a friend to pick me up. :blackeye:
 
iv put in 14.1. my gauge is completely busted it just sits at full constantly. so i gotta use the trip odometer to know when i gotta fill up. safe to say iv run out a few times on my college budget.
 
14.6 once. I was staring at the pump for about 2 minutes realising how close I was to being stranded on my way to Ann Arbor.
 
I fill up every 300 miles.100 miles a day, every third day.
$33.33 bucks a pop ...:laugh:
