As I said b4, doing the speed limit is the key, using speed control. Anything above kills mileage.
I can get 32.5 mpg's on the highway (at 60 mph).
So as you can see it's possible to get over 500 miles out of the tank. Not very practical tho, since you have to nearly drain the tank to do so.

My best is about 420 miles. Thats all highway miles... at 70+ mph....
Usually average anywhere between 21-24 mpg per tank....Thats when I behave, otherwise the miles per gallon do go down considerably!

Really depends....current stats are '05 AT Coupe w/3k on it
Around Town - driving like grandma = 16.5MPG (330 miles to bone dry)
Around Town - driving like it begs to be driven = 13MPG (260 to bone dry)
Freeway - driving like grandma (~65MPH, level road) = 24MPG (480 to bone dry)
Freeway - driving like it begs to be driven = 17.5MPG (350 to bone dry)
I am trying an experiment right now (just started today) if it pans out I will post.
