a little over 400mi made it on a single tank from Chicago to Minneapolis. filled up just before i left. and it prob. helped that i put the car on cruise control most of the way through WI. They don't like speeders, esp IL speeders.

ps...this was all Hwy. City i average around 300mi but because during cold days i remote start my car to warm it up i get about 270mi on a tank.

i got 445. could have gone over 450 but didn't want to push it. i put in just a tad over 13 gallons when i filled up.. i regularly get over 400 at each fill up. I commute 30 miles to work one way and I just cruise at 69 mph shifting at 2.5k rpm to 3k rpm.

can't believe i get that kinda mileage out of my fillup given that i bought car in 04 and has 54k miles onit.

thats a pretty impressive average there "frame"...
I average about the 350-380 range and I only run Shell fuel through her.....but I think that's pretty damn good considering that I live at over 5,000 ft. above sea level.... The closer to sea-level you are...the more potential you have in getting better mileage in any vehicle. So Im pretty happy with my 370ish average way up here

if when you fill up you only pump about 10 gallons, then you're geting about 24 mpg. That isn't too bad for daily driving highway/city. It's what I get most tanks. Sometimes I get slightly higher, sometimes lower. When cruising long distances I normally get about 30 mpg. The best I've gotten was 31.982 mpg

how often does anyone use premium gas.....i was told once a month is good to get all the carbon buildup out..and the car runs a little better...it what i heard..

i dont fill my tank unless i truly have too..let the light come on give it a few more miles then i would do so...
