How far on a tank?
Just wondering how far you can make it on a tank of gas?
-Is the low fuel light on when you fill up?
-City or Highway driving?
Everyone's calculation of MPG can be different, so how many miles or km can you go before filling up?

I recently did a long highway drive to Quebec city. I found out that if I cruise around 120-130 then I can get about 600kms out of a full tank.
In the city it is really bad, around 400-450kms on a full tank.
I don't like to have the fuel light on since someone told me the that fuel system is cooled by gas so you want to have some in there.

I try to fill up when the light turns on.
City driving is pretty bad for me here a lot of stop and go's, averaging just shy of 400km. Probably around 380km.
Highway is alright, I've driven to Seattle a couple of times and I seemed to get around 600km.

I guess its not really city driving. It's country roads with a few stop signs, traffic lights, and congestion spots at certain times of the day. I really don't experience stop-go city driving from my house to work. I usually get 21.5-22.5 mpg locally and up to 25 on the highway doing about 65-70 mph.

GLK
After ordering the GLK, the tank size is the thing I may dislike most about this vehicle... I don't want to have to go fill-up more than once a week.
I wished they had a tiny bit bigger gas tank (or improved mileage).

Yes, a bigger tank would be nice! We were going to buy an Infiniti FX35, and it has a 90L tank instead of 66L, (and the same gas milage), so the extra range would be nice on a road trip.
