Bad gas mileage can also mean needing to fill up more often unless the tank is huge.
I do miss the 22.5 gallon gas tank in my old '88 911. My boxster's got a 16.9 gallon tank. It holds just enough gas to get me to work and back 2 days unless it's super cold or I get stuck in weird traffic or something.
