padrooMy 99 didn't have that feature but last year I had my first low fuel warning at 184 miles at the NHN.

I have found out my gas mileage sucks when traveling in a large group at events.

If you have never been to an event before the rule is to fill up EVERY night before you return to your hotel.

garysssYour range after fill up will depend on your MPG before getting gas. I don't remember exactly, but on my trip to Vegas in 2012 I was avg 26-27 MPG. I was stopping for gas at about 250, low fuel light was coming on at 242 miles. I think the range at fill up was in the 285-295 range.
alrtgIf your Kat has aftermarket gears like mine does "Your mileage may vary"

I once ran out of fuel at about 252 miles on the tank. Since it was my first long trip in the car, I was "trusting the fuel gauge" to be accurate but the car hadn't been driven much and it stuck. The gauge read 1/4 and the low fuel light didn't come on until I had been sitting on the side of the road for about fifteen minutes.

After running out of fuel, I started filling the tank at 150 mile increments until I was comfortable going longer.

Now, several years later I start getting nervous around 170-180 miles.

It is interesting to watch the "Miles to E" in the mirror. Upon filling the tank it goes to somewhere between 210 and 225 miles. I can then drive for a few miles and once in a while that number increases. When it doesn't increase, it will stay where it is sometimes for as far as 30-40 miles.

I now make it a habit of keeping the mirror set on the "Miles to E" display and put the "Trip" display in the dash on as well. This way I can watch the miles driven VS miles left at the same time and compare these numbers to what I see on the gauge.

Because of the gears, I seem to get better MPG around town than I do on the Highway.

dskattInteresting how different cars with the same equipment get different mileage. Driving at 70mph I have a range of about 225 with my 2001.

Also my low fuel light doesn't work, I found that out the hard way.

RJGR0713Im usually at 250 to 260. But I'm lucky if I get 200 miles on a tank that could be because my air filter is black and I just changed my spark plugs. I just filled up only said range 170.

CCJ244 is the most I've seen out of my mirror before I sold the mirror. I only had it for about 3 weeks before selling mirror.
