First tank of gas...
So after owning the 350 for less than 1 week, I've had to fill up the tank once.
In the past 5 days, I have put 225 miles on the vehicle. The first 100 miles were driven pretty hard. The remaining miles are all with good driving behavior. All miles are city miles.
At the gas station, I filled up 14.736 gallons.
Are my numbers off or are they normal? And what happened to my 16.5 gallon gas tank? I filled up the tank when the gas gauge was 1 notch off from hitting the very bottom.

Yeah, I've been taking it pretty easy. The first 100 miles were rought but from here on it, it's going to be easy driving.
The computer on the dash was displaying "reserve fuel" when I filled up the car so I assumed that I was emptying out the reserve tank as well???

Dont forget to be driving in 'C' mode for the gearbox for what seems like eternity, before you start hitting and hammering away on the 1st gear
