Thoughts?
The most I've gotten out of a single tank is 380 miles, and it took 11.002 gallons to fill the tank (34.62MPG). At that point the fuel light was not yet on but I was below a 1/4 tank, and it was a road trip. That was at 70+MPH highway speeds with about 50 miles of 2 lane mountain road driving thrown in.

I could probably do better mileage wise particularly on road trips, but I am not much of a hypermiler. Given my last DD got an average of around 17MPG being able to consistently almost double that and drive like I want isn't much of an incentive to try to do better!
