2015 Hyundai Elantra SE. fill every two weeks. With recent life changes when the two weeks is up I’m above or right at a quarter tank and have well over 200 miles. Haven’t lived in this location long so im holding off on actual miles and gallons. At my previous location I had to fill my tank every week and a half with nearly 300 miles and adding 9 to 10 US gallons.
At an 8th of a tank, about 42 miles for the Subaru and just about anytime the F250 is out, before it returns to the ranch. 9.5 miles to town is a long way to have to hoof it.

Sounds like you could really do well off one of those grocery store "10¢/gal discount!" programs, they usually cap the discounted purchase at 25 or 35 gallons.
I use one sometimes and have gotten as much as 30 cents/gallon off, and there is no amount cap, just a $125 debit card maximum. If I were empty I’d hit that at $3.47/gallon, which is less than stations in Seattle are charging.

And that’s actually good most of the year, with our wet climate, in fact I add 4 sacks of sand in winter when we get frost and black ice. With 385 horsepower and an empty truck bed it’s easy to spin the tires, especially with the crappy OEM Goodyear’s.

not a great idea if:
1) You live in a climate with condensation potential
2) You have an 'in-tank' pump that might cavitate if running low on fuel
3) You are liable to be far from a fuel source.
