I left my house with a 1/4 tank...I figured it would be enough (and I was running late). Then I sat in pothole repair traffic going westbound on the belt. That is where I burned it all up...1-2 gear lol.
I got to the FBF and the gas light came on with 54 miles left. I beat on it some going back out to the island, and the needle was moving literally right before my eyes. So I cut it back and stayed in cruise mode (55-60mph...I get 33mpg like that)...but it kept dropping. I wanted to do a good pass down ocean parkway, but I was afraid of conking out and being stranded
.
Mind you I have a 6MT too.
Next time I will make a note to have at least 1/2 tank the night before. But if we go up to Bear Mountain or Mohonk Reservation, I'll burn 2 tanks in a day like I did during the Porsche meets a few years back
