Not bad (really good actually), especially with those hills/mountains. lol. You should get a Scan Gauge II. It'll be very beneficial. Also, I don't recommend letting your gas tank fall below 2 bars. I let my tank get down to the blinking bar, and I kid you not, my mpg's went from 42 mpg to 29 mpg for three tanks, and then started climbing back up. I think some low laying debris got sucked up???? I never let my tank go below 2 bars now.

Good advice as if it ever came to having to get into the tank it is a chore and can get expensive if you need a shop to do it. Great mpg

Thats the only time I've done it. I just wanted to see if I could make it.

I normally fill up at the half way point.
