How many miles before the needle moves off the "F"

When you fill your whole gas tank, how many miles can you get until the needle moves? I can get 35 miles with no highway driving.

Re: How many miles before the needle moves off the "F"

If i cram mine full, i can get 60-70 miles in the city before it moves, but when it does move it goes to 3/4.

Re: How many miles before the needle moves off the "F"

Noticed tonight mine moved at 30 miles.......5 minutes later it moved back toward the full indicator? I'm sure by the time I get to work tomorrow it will be halfway to 3/4

Re: How many miles before the needle moves off the "F"

lol, i cant tell you the last time i had mine at full. But then again, i mostly just race mine at the track. Then park it back in the shop. The last cruise i took it on i want to say i got about 35-40 from Full until it dropped off, then it moved quickly lol
