I get 250 miles, then the gauge reads empty but it only takes 16 gallons at the pump. Your mileage may vary.

It is a False reading if your speedo gear has never been changed.

Borrow someone's Garmin for a few weeks, the newer ones have an app to track your gas mileage. That's how I've been calculating mine.

Also, I am using a Garmin Nuvi 500, picked it up to replace my 1200 that got stolen. I like the smaller size, originally got the 1200 for the lager size go figure! And it also came pre-loaded with delorme topo maps, a nice feature to have when out in the back-counrtry. picked it up for just under 200 online.

Edit: sorry, it is US Topo maps
