There are a couple of other threads on this if you want more info on it.

On the highway, straight cruise, I have no problem getting over 400+ Miles out of a tank, usually refilling right before or right after the fuel light comes on at speeds between 65 and 79MPH (depending on the highway). When cruising, I typically always drive 9MPH over the speed limit, and never over 80 (Georgia and surrounding states have super speeder laws that kick in at 80MPH).

In general I have averaged 321 Miles between fill-ups, including a few partial fill-ups based on traveling.

Full history of my fuel usage is in the top post of my Owner's Journal.

Oh, and I DO NOT have a light foot or hypermile the car.
