Gas that dont last?
Hey somethings wrong with my gas milage. I have a A/T and I dont drive hard on the gas pedel but everytime I fill up with a full tank of gas from the top to the 1/2 way point dont last long for me, just like 2 & 1/2 days. However when I'm at the middle of my tank it will last for 3 & 1/2 days. I dont get it... Is this norm
the shape of the gas tank is not normal and the gauge is not reading it right.
The first 1/4 goes faster then the second and third 1/4 and the last 1/4 also goes pretty quick. Nothing wrong with your car, just part of the "uniqueness" that is our car...

I just bought mine brand new two weeks ago and I already notice that. First 1/4 goes fast (about 60 miles for my car), second 1/4 goes a bit slower, then the third 1/4 seems to last forever, and the last 1/4 goes as fast as the second one.
First fill @ 33 miles: 250 miles with 13.50 gallons = 18.52 mpg
Second fill @ 283 miles: 275 miles with 14.06 gallons = 19.56 mpg
BTW, mine is manual.

I get 100 miles to halfway, give or take. Usually 150 or so by 1/4th mark. It's been pretty consistent for me. MPG has gone all over the place though from 15.8 to my 13.5 on my most recent fill.
Mine is very accurate. Not like old gas gages that took a long time to drop off full. What ever I get the first 1/4 I can just times 4 and that is what I will get for the tank. (Unless I change the type driving.) I usually get 60~70 miles to the first mark, then 120~140 at 1/2 and 240~280 at E. It is obviouse with the "U" shaped tank and the transfer system that the computer is programed for this action.
Had my 8 18 months and 16K miles and it has always worked like this.
