I think we're having a miscommunication. What I'm challenging here is whether the gage reads more proportionally to the actual weight of fuel in the tank in the winter rather than summer. E.g. in winter, I get about

220 miles by the time the gage indicates half-full. In summer, by contrast, I get about 270 miles.

Roughly.

Right.

It's not something I'm losing sleep over. Just something that might be worth mentioning when people come here complaining that their fuel gage doesn't read in much proportion to the fuel in the tank.

thats what i do, too. i also knew on my last trip to laughlin that i can usually make it there on a tank of gas.

almost all the way there, gauge is reading low. trip odometer says something like 285 miles. 11.9 gal tank, i usually get 32mpg. (380 to a tank?)
