Ok. Glad you put gas in it and drove it. It would help if we knew exactly how many miles and how many gallons of gas you burned.
Yep it would help just a weeeeee bit if we knew how many miles you put on it. Time cant tell by itself. I filled up last tuesday as well, and yesterday.

This thread confuses me..but not hard to do at times.
Adam, your car is fine. Based on the highly detailed description of how the vehicle
in question was driven, and the detailed log of the distance covered, 6 days of such
use should take the fuel level to precisely between 3/4 and 1/2.
Well i will say one thing. I have found it to be true from what i have read. If you do alot of short driving where your car does not really get a chance to warm up then you will burn more gas that usual. I live about 2 -3 mile from work and i burn more gas driving back and forth on those short trips that i do on the weekend when i am out and about and my car gets to run longer.

^ get bad mpg my self i live 3.27 miles from work. i am at 1/4tank and i have 230miles on this tank so far. and i drive the hell out of mt car too!
see ya!
Does losing too much gas from eating Taco Bell count? If so, that was me yesterday.
hey, i had the same problem awhile back. I wasn't sure what was goin on cause i was burning so much gas. come to find out someone was stealing my gas. so i went and bought a locking gas cap. now i get the milege i should.
Yeah me too. I fill up Monday morning and for some odd reason I am out of gas by Thursday. No clue why.....I mean I know it can't be the fact that my work is 40 miles from house. I just don't understand how my tank empties out in 3-4 days?
I have fingure it out. I need to change my fuel filter. Now I am getting 25 miles to gallon since I put a new filter on.
Thanks for Helping Yall

what else is wrong with your car, or do you have your accelerator welded to the firewall/floor
