Could GM make the tanks any smaller in these cars? I have a 97 3.8 maro and i think it's 15 Gallons and no sooner do i fill up it seems i'm right back there a couple days later :( How the hell do you guys do with the Z28's,must be brutal :lol:

Something's not right then.
I get 27 on the highway and 20 or so around town.

This. Use your trip odometer.
Fill up, reset it, and then when your needle hits "E" (which really means 1-2 gallons left, as said by the owner's manual for my '94), check the trip odometer and just divide the mileage you racked up by 13 gallons.
Doing this should give you an idea of your empeegees.

Man... Reading v8s getting better mileage than me makes me depressed. Somehow I get 17-18 when I drive with a heavy foot and 21 at the most when I drive like my grandma and mostly on a highway. Hmmm

Actually you should fill it up again and divide the mileage by the actual gallons you put back in.

That could work too. Never considered that.
