Yeah. I log all my miles vs vendor etc, and find that Shell is no better than Arco in terms of range (some colleagues say their car goes 10 miles more on a Shell fill).

The only place where I have had different mileage is S*m's Club gas. Each time I've tried it, the mileage seems to drop by about 10%. Even though their gas is cheaper, the reduced mileage makes it cost about the same as everyone else around town.

Ok,
I am kinda getting the opposite that everyone is reporting...I think. My computer showed me averaging 19.2, however, I was really getting 22/23 on the highway. I drove my mother and myself from Atlanta to Orlando for vacation and was mostly early morning driving and cruising at 75Mph.

Since vehicle is only a few weeks old, I have only had the chance to fill it up once so far.
Computer Reported: 21.5 MPG
Actual: 19.9 MPG
Will continue to compare both methods for a few months to see if it's consistently off.
BTW, does anyone know approximately how many miles you can go once the gas light comes on? Or, once the Range on the computer reads 0, how much further can you typically go?
