I have an '04 5AT, 90% highway and I get about 350 to the tank on average. And based on the fill up, there's still 2.5 galllons available.

i just get over 300 miles on a full tank during the cold months here. but then again i warm up the car everytime i start it. 65% city, 35% highway.

what about tire pressure. i just set my 19's to 35-36psi.

A few things to mention - I change oil every 5k (used to be with mobil1 but now amsoil), change the diff every 30k, tranny every 30-40k, BG fuel cleaning at least once a year, flush coolant once a year, check tire pressure probably ever other month, clean the TB probably every 18-24 months, etc. etc.
Do I hear 460 a tank or higher? Count 1, 2...


I'm getting about 400 mile a tank with 80% freeway and 20% city here. I'm sure I can go about 30-40 more mile before it dies on the freeway...

I made it to 420 on my drive from Virginia Beach to Altlanta (saw 250 before dropping below a half tank) and the light hadn't even come on yet. I thought it was a miracle. No idea how many gallons I used though because I have those fun fuel level/filling issues.

I put 393 on my last tank and when I filled up it took 17 gallons so I know I could have gone another 40 miles easily.
