Even when running hard (at 100mph+) I still get well over 200 miles to the
tank - no worries if you are at 135.

Also, even if you have a perfectly functioning gauge, it will not register
anything but full for the first 90-120 miles as the sensor does not extend
to the top of the tank. Once you have drained sufficient fuel, you will
start to see a drop and it will increase the further down the tank you get
(as the tank tapers the further down you get)
