    So today on my way home I decided to fill up my C. I was at 392 miles and with 18 miles range left I decided to stop and filler up for the first time it costed me 30.08 and was 8.07 gallons. Getting about 46 MPG right now.

    Is that really bad? Or is that pretty good? Or just avg? Judging by my MPG looks to be AVG at the moment. And I used Shell gasoline any comments on that either? I followed the instructions on the cap to not use with anything more than 10 percent ethanol luckily Shells gas may contain UP TO ten percent.

    I thought the tank was at least 9 gallons?

    Right now, I am still on my first tank of gas, and getting about mid 30's as a average for the first 100 miles. I notice that the car is actually getting better per trip (or I could just be getting use to the car).

    47 is what I am getting, I have filled up twice but I also have a heavy lead foot. The length of your commute will make a diffrence and if you use the car for alot of short trips, the car needs to warm up the ICE. I drive 7 miles each way to work all city driving. The longer the trip the better the gas milage I get. Also you are still breaking in the engine.
