ahh, I see. Carefully choose things for your pantry that you can be assured that no burglar would steal!


[the catch, of course, being you have nothing edible in that assortment, but these will convince the dog that he's safe. . .]

Today I put 15.4 gallons of gas in my new 2025 Ford Maverick AWD Lariat, gas 2 liter engine. The specs say it is a 13.8 gallon tank. I ran it intentionally down to when the warning told me I had only 25 miles to go. I drove appox. another 10 miles and filled it up. Does this make sense? Thank you

Ecoboost has 16.5 gallon tank, hybrid has 13.8 gallon.

Thank you! Now it makes sense.

used to be and still do it here ... was never go below a quarter tank. Watching threads where people try to go to the last drop are funny to me ... What's that prove? You do not have to empty a tank to figure gas milage and where i live power goes out enough not to be the one stuck out of gas. Range will always be different depending on conditions.

Cheers

Only one problem with my 25 hybrid lariat is if I did the fill up at 1/4 tank I’d be filling up every 250-300 miles. That’s all I get out of the top 3/4 of a tank according to the gauge I’ll get to 1/4 tank left and DTE will show 250 miles or more to empty. I took a 1200 mile trip in my 25 hybrid just a few days after buying it and was really concerned after I saw gas guage dropping an 1/8 tank after only 40-50 and another 1/8 by time I reached 100 miles and continued at same pace for first 3/4 tank then do 150 miles on the next 1/8 and still showed 100 miles to empty. My wife’s 24 hybrid’s guage is way more accurate. I actually like the 24’s instrument cluster better than the 25.
