How far a 1994 Ford F-150 goes on a tank
Gallons left and the distance they cover at each mark on the fuel gauge, at EPA city and highway mileage. At the combined rating of 15 MPG, a full 19.0-gallon tank covers about 285 miles.
| Gauge | Gallons | Highway miles | City miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 19.0 | 342 | 266 |
| 3/4 | 14.3 | 257 | 200 |
| 1/2 | 9.5 | 171 | 133 |
| 1/4 | 4.8 | 86 | 67 |
| 1/8 | 2.4 | 43 | 33 |
Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 1,000 gallons, roughly 53 full tanks.
In real driving: owners who log fill-ups at fueleconomy.gov average 13.7 MPG in the F-150 (12 drivers), about 260 miles on a full 19.0-gallon tank.
Fuel gauges aren't perfectly linear and the low-fuel light comes on with a few gallons still in the tank, so plan your stop before the last eighth.
