Ya milage is much better on a long highway trip. Just remember to fill up all your tires, 38 psi should do ya

My stock BFG's say 50psi. why does that sound like waay too much?

We averaged just a little over 32 mpg last summer going to the beach.But we also averaged just slightly over 80 mph also.

if you want to save on gas like fuck...then just dont boost, keep the car at vac pull the whole fuckin way. bet you'll get like 35-40 MPG.

how far can we go once the light comes on, cause i dont want to be in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night out of gas.

once the light comes on theres 2 1/2 gallons left, so you can drive for quite awhile. once the light beeps and starts to blink there is a 1/2 gallon left. when that happens you should get gas ASAP.

that is the maxium pressure the tire can hold. dont run your car at that. read what is says in the door jamb and inflate to that

Also, i drove to Texas and back and i got ALOT further per tank when i was drafting someone. Find someone who is going about the same speed that you want to, then get behind them. Not too close 'cause they'll get pissed and slow down. Try to avoid big trucks too, they have rocks and shit they drop off the back. Sucks. The more you keep out of boost, the farther you'll get.

You should have closer to a gallon left once the light starts blinking but definitely get to a station at that point.

I have gone 35 miles once the light started blinking. I then put a gallon in and the light was still blinking.
