Even on trips, I fill up when I get to around a quarter of a tank of fuel anyway; I'm never stuck in a jam worried about how much fuel I have. Plus, the 5-15 miles I might would get out of topping off just aren't worth it to me. I just pump to the click. My results for MPG are consistent within 1 MPG for my regular commute (I use the same gas pump near my home). All that being said, its your car and your money. Congrats on the good mileage

They probably laugh their butts off when they see people doing that, knowing what is happening. Here in NJ you cannot pump your own gas - it is all full service - yet $3.58 a gallon last weekend for regular, GULF. They set the pump, it stops, they round to the nearest $.05 and you pay. That is it - - and if my tank were any more full the gauge would break - I mean it is WAY left of the F mark when they do that. Any more and it would be pointing directly left (My gauge shows full at 12:00 position).

Replying to: tankbeans (Aug 15, 2008 12:07 pm)  My gauge goes from 12 -6 , full to empty, clockwise. I have had others that went from 2-10 counterclockwise In fact, my present car is an '08 Accord. My '04 S 2000 went from left to right, 3-9, with leds. No consistency even within an manufacturer!

Replying to: ljgbjg (Aug 15, 2008 12:12 pm) On a side note my dashboard is completely different from the dashboard in the 06, I think it was a picture grad posted where I learned this. I know with many manufacturers they have pretty much the same dashboard across the board. I know the gauge cluster in my mom's 05 Sunfire is virtually identical to the cluster in my brothers 95 Grand Am which is almost the same as the cluster from an 89 Grand Prix that my other brother had. I know what does this have to do with fuel mileage. I recently got 27 and I was doing a fair bit of speeding. I haven't really been trying to get the best mileage because sometimes it is just too much of a hassle.

Replying to: dpmeersman (Aug 15, 2008 12:42 pm)  That had to hurt! Seriously, I had a similar device in our 1993 Dodge Intrepid and sometimes when coasting showed over 100 MPG. I hated to watch that darn thing when accelerating! I can understand your wathcing your MPG - but blue haired old ladies on your rear?!  I have to give you credit - you have b's to admit that! Have a good one...

Replying to: tankbeans (Aug 09, 2008 1:34 pm) FWIW, my overall experience with my 08 I4 Automatic EX is that MPG ranges from 25 to 29MPG in "spirited" driving.
