Well there's your problem right there. The gas tank holds 14.5 gallons.
I found this website fueleconomy.gov, not sure if it's for real or not, but according to them, the actual MPG for the 2001 tib is 19 city, 28 highway. Big difference from what the dealer said when it was new. Closer to my actual MPG though.

No you are correct, if your the high bidder but have not met the reserve then you do not get the item

What the hell have you been putting in the tank?! Thats GREAT!, bet you replaced all your muffler straps lately huh?

don't forget about your code! that might be adding to that. my car is like my dad's elantra. 23 city 30 highway. around that... regardless i think the OEM claims are sh_t because they lied about horsepower and got caught.

Well, my code is gone now, and my MPG seems to have improved slightly. But again I have no accurate way to judge, so I just assume it's worse than it may really be, lol.

lmao.gif i've got a long way to go before my gas goes empty. i just filled it full last sunday, we've done plenty of driving around all day and leaving 30 miles out of town before work just because there's better shopping stuff over theres, and shorty's still not even close to half the tank. last time i looked at cluster, she's 3/4 filled.
on average, we only need to fill er up about once every 2 weeks, sometimes once a week, give or take.
like i said, i'd love to know what the previous owner have done to the car, or maybe it was the dealer i bought her from. dont forget though, shorty's a salvage car, dealer told me she was in a "roll over" accident. i don't know about the roll-over, but she definitely been in accident cuz it says SALVAGE in red stamp on my title.
