Where is my gas going?

mileage
yeah but your car has been tuned right....probably has helped a bit...most balt owners average in the mid 300miles/tank...either way, we are both doin pretty well on mileage

cavis and sunfires were terrible for this.
my sunfire used to make 3 trips to work on the top half of the tank
bottom half would only last 1!
cobalts seem to be somewhat better, but the top half always lasts longer in every car ive owned.

so your saying you get 460 MILEs/tank. Anyone know how to convert that to km/tank? I get 1216km's/tank, that can't be right. If it is, holy F^*K batman....I need to get mine tuned!

well, the sender isn't perfect.
it isn't using gas at a faster rate, it's just dropping faster.
for example, you may put gas in it, and for the first 2 gallons, the level doesn't move at all, then it drops a little, the last bit, it moves more. it's just not as linear as it should be.

And it seems like you can go forever when you first fill up with out the level dropping since the ball is comletely submerged and it takes a while for the gas to drop down past the height of the ball to actually make it move down.
