So if you fill your tank right up, and then drive it all the way to empty including the 100 ks or so travelled after the gauge is in the red, then you have used the exact amount of fuel that you're tank holds. Assuming you know how much this is, and how many miles you've travelled until it's all gone, you can work out the mileage. My question is : if I undertake this test, what happens when the tank runs dry? Do I have to have a can in the back and a funnel? Do 245's start ok after they're "outa gas"?
