gr8gatzby Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 well i emptied the first tank of gas today, and i cannot believe i got 450mi to the tank, especially considering it was filled with 87 octane from the carmax garage. the 850t before it would go 325 if i was lucky and kept it under 35mph.another thing, the owners manual states that i have a 17.8gl tank(AWD models), yet I was able to somehow squeeze in 18.8gl this morning. wormhole in the tank perhaps?

Actually, I'm dying to get the head back for my 1.6l 16v pocket rice-rocket so I can get back in the 35+ MPG club. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
