I'm trying to pinpoint my gas mileage based on the 15.3 gallon tank capaciy. I have filled up the tank twice since purchasing my 02 CRV-EX/Auto. I drove the car until the fuel tank light came on both times and continued to drive with the light on for maybe 15 or 20 miles longer so that I could get as close to empty as possible. On both occasions I filled up until the nozzle fill up automatically stopped. I did not top off off the tank, since I've read this is not good. It took 13 gallons both times until the automotic nozzle stop kicked in. On each occasion i had gone 310-315 miles before refuelling. Can I assume that the tank will take another 2 gallons to top off completely or did I still have 2 gallons of driving left after the fuel tank light was on continuously for 10 or 15 miles. I think the latter was likely. If true and I had 2 gallons left to burn, or maybe 40 miles, then I would have gobe about 350 per 15.3 gallon tank or about 23 miles/gallon on 50/50 city and highway driving.
