How Many Miles to a Tank?

[Dan66]

I think I may have a problem with the fuel gauge in my "new" '96. I gassed-up immediately after I bought it, but the needle is staying on "F." Fortunately, I thought to set the trip odometer when I filled-up...

Those of you with the 4.0 six: how many miles do you get to a tank? About how far can I go and still have safey a quarter of a tank left? Thanks!

You should have a 19.3 gallon tank. To be on the safe side, I'd assume 15mpg which equals 290 miles... To be super safe, I'd fill up every 250 miles.

The tank should be 21 gallons actually. You should easily be able to go 300 miles if you have stock size tires and everything. Then when you fill up pay attention to how many gallons you put in. Then you can figure how much farther you could have gone on the tank.

I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer V6 and I get 390 - 410 miles on a tank of gas with 90% highway driving.

I get about 370- 390 on my 96 before the check gage light comes on. Same here, 90% highway.

Thats were Im at too with city or mixed city and highway. I get 300 when mostly highway which comes out to about 15.5 mpg. Im getting my O2 sensors changed out.

 

[Lt.Jim]

I get about 240 out of a tank. That could last more then a month because I only have a 2.5mile commute round trip. I average about 16mpg all in town driving.

MAN! I really need to clean my MAF and possibly change my o2's, my mpg is at 12. I got an 01' 4x4 sport and it has a 17.5 gal tank and I get 210miles to every tank. I've cleaned the injectors and changed my plugs so far. Would the MAF be able to have that much effect on my mpg?

edit: Did I mention I've had a K&N drop-in filter since I bought it?
