Now I can't get much over 400. With my non-commute, my trips are all too short for really good MPG, and I don't have a way to pre-heat the engine/drivetrain to get it out of warmup mode quickly. On the other hand, I'm only filling up every six weeks or so!

I think, now that I have fill data for that tank, that had I just continued driving and ignored the fuel gauge I could have had a 1,000km (624mi) tank. In theory the car has a 13 gallon tank and it took less than 11 to fill it, meaning I would have had *just* enough fuel, though any miscalculation would have me on foot which I’m not comfortable with
