I do prefer gauges over idiot lights. They provide more information, idiot lights don't tell you crap.

Right! Idiots some lights tell you your're too late. a 4lowlife, I mean low oil lamp is an idiot light. IMO low fuel light is not an idiot light.

Started off as a simple question and I don't value any of your input so you can keep it to yourself.

Thanks,

Hanr3, he don't want your help! LOL!!!!!

I guess just keep an eye on the fuel guage like you have been.

When it's warmer out I wait untill it's almost on the red before I fuel up. My wife fuels it up everytime the lamp blinks on. Like I said about people need to be told..

Yep 380km's on a full tank. I work in downtown Ottawa where there's a lot of stop and go traffic, that and the fact that it's winter and I have the heater on level 3 all the time and let it warm up I'll bet doesn't help my fuel mileage. I'm hoping for some better mileage when the weather get's warmer.
When I first got it I would only get 250-270km/per tank until I replaced the plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap/rotor, and the O2 sensor etc.... general tune-up.

I once drove to Mt. Tremblant and back and got close to 600km's which I thought was pretty good.

That is pretty deecnt for a road trip. Mine has never got that much. I was going to ask if you had done a tune-up recently. Driving downtown Ottawa would certainly account for the low mileage/tank. That really sucks, though. I thought mine was bad.
