Moedad, I have a preliminary guestimate: Not based entirely on science, I am calculating my current gas mileage at about 38mpg. The guage is on empty when I have about a gallon left. At .8 of a gallon, a light is supposed to come on and it actually starts counting the "miles since the light has gone on" for you. I had an opportunity tonight to run to down to that point, but I chickened out (see "Alan is a pussy" posts for further exp.) I could probably push the GZ for a mile, but I can't barely roll the Strat ten feet without risking a hernia. So, given an effective usable tank of 3.5 gals, I would estimate the crusing range at about 130 miles or so. If one feels lucky, maybe 150.
Hope it doesn't get worse after break-in.
