The gauge lies like a politician in that region of its travel. At 1/4 tank or so I might fill up with 20 gallons or 22. At nearly 1/8 on the gauge it'll be 23. If I'm on the interstate it's a hundred miles from top pin to dead on the F mark, then only 200 or so more to the warning light coming on.
Best bet it to go fill-up to fill-up, or record all miles driven and pump gallons in from one full fill to the next. Anything else and you might as well just pull numbers out of your own or someone else's ***. Not mine, though. There's no room for numbers in there with my head in it. Ones fit from time to time, but sevens and twos are painful in different ways and eights won't go in past the skinny part in the middle. Threes? They're a bloody mess. Fours won't go at all, nor will fives.

@Slash: I don't understand how people can do that. I hate not filling up. It bothers me.

When i was driving back and forth to work everyday (120 mile round trip) i was averaging 13-13.5 consistantly for 2 months....that 80% highway 20% city....when i lived in mass i lived in a big city ALOT of stop and go...i averaged about 85% city 15% highway and would cap at about 10.5 driving easy...driving the way i do i got about 8
So to make it easy;
80% highway 20% city...13-13.5mpgs
In mass with lot of stop and go
85% city 15% highway ....10.5 max going easy
8 maybe 9 mpgs driving my normal way
