Got 298 miles out a tank if gas! I usually fill up around at 260 or so. Not bad for a 5.3 BBS. Avg. 15/16mpg with mixed rolling hills, hwy, city with some spirited runs;)

That was a little too close for comfort though. I completely forgot to fill up after dropping off my son right before leaving for the morning commute. 18.4 gallons yikes 19.5 gallon tank talk about fumes.

I have had WAY too many 18 gallon fill ups with my Marauder.

My 2001 Vic would iluminate the Fuel light at about 15-16 gallons to fill leaving a decent safety margin. My 94 Lincoln had even more reserve.. Then I get the Marauder and wow almost 350 miles out and still not empty yet .... WTF 18.5 gallons .. I thought it only had a 19 gallon tank.... Check manual :eek::eek::eek: Gotta keep reminding myself not to go below 1/4 tank which is about the same fuel level hitting E on my old car
