How far a 2009 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 36.0-gallon tank covers about 540 miles.

Configuration

Gauge	Gallons	Highway miles	City miles
Full	36.0	648	504
3/4	27.0	486	378
1/2	18.0	324	252
1/4	9.0	162	126
1/8	4.5	81	63

Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 1,000 gallons, roughly 28 full tanks.

In real driving: owners who log fill-ups at fueleconomy.gov average 16 MPG in the F-150 (9 drivers), about 576 miles on a full 36.0-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.

EPA combined: 15–17 MPG
Tailpipe CO₂: 523–592 g/mi
