Maybe if you did 100% highway driving and a steady cruise speed.
That's over 30mpg basing it on 14 gallons used.
The low fuel comes on after burning about 12-12.5 gallons (of 15.4) and you never mentioned that either.

My understanding is that there were a couple different tanks that were used during the years the Contour was built. All I know for sure is that my gas tank is 15.4 gal.

Am I the only Zetec that gets 270-310? I don't ever recall getting over 400 on a tank. Course I haven't done an all highway trip in awhile, it's always highway/city driving.
