Mine went from a strong 28 to 26+, it's currently at 25.4 for a couple thousand miles, I had the trans fluid changed, and an alignment just before it dropped, I think the allignment is off a bit... (feels a bit Loose), it's after 5 when I get home and everybodies closed, if I leave it, I'm stuck in the truck @14mpg/diesel, so...
I filled up this morning,... 16.93 gal, said I could still get 12 miles.
I hate to stop for gas Everyday when I can make it two... (barely)
Do these all have the same size tank??, is there a larger one that will fit??

Mine seems to think it's 17 according to the message center.
Is 18.5 standard for all years??
I had thought of bladders before, but I'm getting pretty Lazy in my Old age...
I might have gotten slightly more aggresive since I was getting 28+, and I've been running the Heater, witch seems to run the A/C as well, but it's hard to notice much differance there,... maybe with a good Flat road...

Ok, you guys are making me feel bad, when I got this thing, I'd had been elated with 21..., I've got one gallon showing on the Status display, about 27 mi., the gas station is only about 5 mi., but three stop signs don't help.
It's already turning Cold here, and I don't work well in cold weather, but it sounds like new plugs are the least I should be considering...
I haven't been able to notice Any differance with octane rattings, I don't have any steady miss or other dirvabilty problems, I do want to get it back to the shop and recheck alingment...
Is there a Reserve in these tanks?, because it's telling me Less than a gallon, but holds shy of 17...
