that's why you watch your consumption over a period of time.. and always use the same pump.. drive until light flash, fill up, check how many miles you've done. calculate MPG and start over.

You will be able to tell by the 2nd tank of gas if it's good or bad. If the tank wasn't full, then you'd get crap mileage and then super good mileage on the next tank.

cuz the 1st bar on the gauge means really nothing.. i usually get around 90km on the 1st bar, but if i fill it up more than usual, i get up to 160km on the 1st bar.

yea, but it is better to just keep track and write everything down, over a year or so you can really tell what your gas mileage is.

thanks for the advice but i wouldn't want to wait until it start flashing nor trying to travel back to the same pump while im running low on gas. i done some research about Sam's Club gas. some say their gas mileage goes bad, it actually cost them more money than to save. i'll wait until the end of the week and refuel again with better gas this time and see if that will solve the problem.
