* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds significantly reduce fuel economy.
* Terrain: Hills and mountains will reduce your range compared to flat driving.
* Road conditions: Stop-and-go city driving uses more fuel than highway driving.
* Vehicle condition: A poorly tuned engine or other mechanical issues can impact fuel efficiency.
* Fuel quality: The quality of the gasoline can slightly affect mileage.
* Tire pressure: Properly inflated tires improve fuel efficiency.
Therefore, there's no single definitive answer. While the Firebird's fuel tank is typically around 16 gallons, achieving the full potential range indicated by that capacity is unlikely due to the factors listed above.
You'll likely get somewhere between 250 and 350 miles before the fuel light illuminates, but it could be more or less depending on the conditions. The best way to determine your own car's range is to observe how many miles you consistently drive before needing to refuel. Pay attention to your fuel gauge and start tracking your mileage after each fill-up.
