240fluke is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, typically I fill my car up around 360-400 mpt and the most I have EVER put in my car was recently it took 16.5 gallons. Personally I think the quality of gas might be going down recently, just because of little things like my car does not seem like it is getting all of its power or quite as many miles on the car (however with the power, it could be one of two things: a sensor or I am soo used to the performance now, that I need to get more power as I have already installed a 300zx fuel filter recently and just cleaned my air filter a few weeks before that).

Gas light in the S14 comes on around 3 gallons roughly still in the tank. You can go PLENTY far with that gas light on seeing as how you have a 17.1 gallon tank in the S14's. I used to fill up (a VERY LONG time ago) when the needle was close to E. Then one day I experimented to see how low I could get it. MAN, that thing is BURIED before I ever fill up. And if for some reason it stops working, I would still fill up around 350 mpt since there should still be gas in there at that point.

Oh and this is with a lot of city driving, mixed with short (like 10-15 minute) freeway trips to work and back.

BTW, nobody seemed to ask, do you have an S13 or S14? Not sure how comparable on TANK wise they are, but on MILEAGE wise they should be about the same.
