    I'm not getting anything over 300 miles Closest i got was 270 miles from the tank. Starting to wonder if something is wrong with my car.

    No I'm not flooring it, usually drive with the ECO light on and between 2K-2800 rpms. Driving is usually a combination of city and highway. Even in the city the avg fuel economy I get is 24 mpg according to the gauge.
    I want to point out something I think is a fault. I have ran the car down to the point where it shows -- as the Miles remaining till empty, because the tank is so low. At this point you would think the tank was about empty right?! But, I have done this 10 times now and every time I can only put in about 6.8 gallons. This means there is still 2.4 gallons in the tank as a reserve. At 40MPG that's still almost 100 miles I could have gone!!!

    The most messed up part is that is almost exactly 1/4 of the total fuel capacity!!!!!!! :/

    45MPH 10 miles strait.

    Reverse direction at 45MPH, got stuck at a few red light, but no traffic. Kept it under 3k RPMs
