Well let's see 340 miles divided by 24.6 which is the fuel tank capacity comes out to 13.82 mpg. That sounds about right since I average 12 in the city and 15 on the highway. I run premium, don't drive over 65, not lead footed, carry a light load, run my tries at 40 psi, have a fairly new MAF, and the 60k mile service was done not to long ago.

Tank volume
Regarding tank volume, I thought it was approximately 22 gallons as well. Like I said, right or wrong, and somewhat touchy-feely, I've gone 30 miles with the warning light on (hey, I drive a lot interstate and I'm a guy that tends to procrastinate). Never gave a thought to potential fuel pump degradation.
Anyway, I've gone 30 miles with the idiot light on and was sweating bullets... This was where I filled up with 22.1 gallons. Did I have a couple more (20 miles or so) of safety net available?
