might just be me not wanting to run empty, but my warning light comes on when I've hit about 265 highway miles. Got 24 mpg on my recent trip. How you all get well over 300 miles on a tank puzzles me. Do you run it clear to the Empty mark or what?

BTW, saw $3.35 a gallon for 91 at Chevron in Oceanside, just north of San Diego. Passed that station right by and went up the road and found a station selling 91 for 2.85. I whined a little about it while at a Yosemite hotel's lobby and a Brit told me, "You Yanks need to be very quiet right now or I'm going to think you are spoiled rotten. I paid $9 a gallon in London for premium just last week while I was in the city on business."

I guess we have nothing to complain about whilst looking at the global pricing for fuel, even if it's all tax-loaded.
