I filled up at around 350 miles on each tank, as the other car on the trip needed to fill up more often than I did. I typically had about 1/4 tank or more left, and the car needed around 11 gallons.

I haven't had the car long enough to fill up a "normal" tank, but right now it is sitting just below 1/2 tank w/220 miles. 100 of those were highway; the rest were fun (lots of redline and full-throttle).

I have noticed that the gauge isn't very linear, meaning it will drop from full pretty quickly and hover around half for a while.
