I understood that, thus the 134 miles per tank.

Never said that. What I said is if you are only getting 134 miles per tank there is something wrong. Based on your statement that you fill up every day at $52 a pop, you would be at least fairly close to empty. My last fill up the low fuel light was on and it cost me $54, went 240 or so miles (don't recall exact mileage) and got right at 13 MPG. Based on roughly the same cost for the fill up and your stated miles for that tank you would be getting an estimated a 7.5 MPG. Now, these are estimates because I don't actually know what the cost of gas is where you are but our prices are generally on the high side of the national average. You have to take into consideration that you are driving over a mountain but the estimated 7.5 MPG is ugly. If you know how many gallons you put in after driving the 134 miles we can calculate what your MPG is.
