7.74 fill ups if you stop on dead empty every time more likely 9-10 fill ups. Mileage varies with speed and traffic conditions but at ideal mileage the vehicle will consume approx. 350 L
I believe you are in the years that the manufacturer changed the sending unit plugs. New pumps come with the plug. If it were me, I would figure out the gas mileage, keep gas in it. And get a one gallon gas container keep it full and keep it in the truck. Until the pump died. These aren't cheap to replace.
Clean the MAF sensor. Could also need a tune up, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter. Could also have a stopped up catalic converter that needs to be replaced.
I would start by pulling a spark plug and looking at condition. With that kind of mileage, has it ever had a valve job? Valve's burn and valve springs get weak, could have a carbon problem. Also compare the brands of fuel you're using, many have changed their formulas - I've noticed it with my own cars. Also have your mechanic do a compression test.
You should be getting close to 360-390...depending on the type of driving you are doing. Increasing your gas mileage could be as simple as getting a fresh oil and filter job, change your air filter, change your fuel filter...and a biggie believe it or not, make sure you have the proper tire pressure. This will kill your mileage faster than anything else.
City MPG: 16-18 mpg Combination MPG: 18-21 Highway MPG: Approximately 26 mpg
