Third fill up was yesterday and I put 19.2 gal in it. Fuel light came on about 10 miles previous to me filling up and my information display said 0 miles till empty. I'm still getting used to my CRD but really like it.
I put a little more fuel in after auto shut off; maybe a half gallon. I fill then wait for the foam to go down, fill then wait, etc. until I start freezing from the cold/wind.
Regarding premium fuel, I like to use Amoco/BP Premier diesel. It's relatively easy to find in my area. Amoco claims a 50 cetane rating on this stuff.
On my third tank I averaged 24.4 mpg...about 80% highway driving. Not bad and it'll get better.
Just refilled again after my own 80-90% highway driving trip yesterday and painfully took an extra 10 minutes to make sure to squeeze the extra 1.5 gallons into the filler neck to make sure my calculations are somewhat accurate.
My previous tank full was 90% city driving for my worst mileage ever of 18mpg.
This time, 24mpg!!! And this is with the oversized tires in my signature!
