420 Mile a Tank

I'm getting 420 mile per tank with 70% freeway and 30% city driving on my 06 MT6 (the warning light comes on about 2 miles before filling up). I don't think I drive my car hard enough. Does anyone get around 400 mile a tank?

My engine is stock by the way.

I shift at around 3.5K or 4K RPM max at regular driving. I usually drive at around 75 or 80 MPH max up and down hills. I've been getting around 400 miles per tank since I bought my car in Sep. 2006. The worst one I got was 320 miles.

One thing I always do once every 2 weeks is checking tire pressures and that's all...

See, the reason I posted about this topic was because I saw a lot of people complained about their MPG in here...but I didn't feel that way.

420!

If you're getting 420 miles to a tank, you drive like a granny.

If you're getting 180-220/tank, you're either heavily modded or shifting at 12,000RPM

Post up your gas mileage next time you fill up.

Just filled my car yesterday and had 290 miles with 100% city driving.
