When the fuel light/chime comes on on my '04 %.4 Lariat Screw, I have around 4-5 gallons left. I usually drive it until it says I have 20-25 miles left to empty. When I fill up, I always put around 27 gallons in it. I usually get 475-500 miles out of a tank of fuel with the 30 gallon tank.

Most europeans also buy diesels, which are available in just about any make, model vehicle you can think of over there. Most get awsome gas milage! I rented a 3 series diesel BMW with a 6 speed manual and drove from Luxembourg to Munich (about 6 hrs, all Autobahn, avg 115mph) and used well under a half a tank...I was impressed! My Girlfriend bought a Mazda Miata, all her Euro friends thought she was crazy for buyin a gas car, In the states you'd be drivin cheap.
Fuel is SO expensive out there, regardless of what you drive, thats why i try not to complain when when i put $70 in to fill up, it could be way worse
