my usual is about 320 to 340 miles to a tunk, but usually a bit before the light comes on..... I dont comprehend how you can get over 400 !!!!!! hehe I want I want..... really confuses me how come we get such big discrepancies from one car to another.... I have no mods on tires or anything really. no adventure package either, I driver mostly highway, but couple miles are side streets with lights and all, but traffic on the highway usually each way for a few miles where its stop and go.

RE: Tank-O-Gas Challenge
Twice in the last two weeks I drove 100 miles, then filled up and topped off the tank. The first time I put in 5.0 gallons, the second time 4.8 gallons. I'm actually getting 20 MPG now amazingly. I changed my driving habits a little since I have a stick. I shift at 2500 rpms for every gear, I went back to 87 octane, and I haven't used the AC at all since it's getting cooler out. That colder air probably has something to do with it also. Considering half of my commute every day us stop and go traffic, I think 20 MPG is pretty amazing. The only thing I did before I started getting that was disconnecting the battery overnight (which may or may not have done anything) and had the oil changed. I'm still trying to figure out why the dealer put 10W-30 in there. Man I can't wait to have my own garage!
The only mod I have is my K&N Filter in the stock air box. I never reset the computer after I installed it, so that too may have something to do with it. Who knows. All I know is I'm not putting anything else in that thing. I am happy it's getting 20 MPG so I'm not going to mess it up by modifying anything else Who needs a dual exhaust anyway
Oh, and I have been trying very hard to keep my top speed under 70, which is very hard for someone like me
