I just go by tank lol. Best I've gotten out of a tank so far (still flooring it here and there lol) is 260. Not being so nice 200. I'm sure if I do all highway I may get 300 if conditions are good.

Doesn't the gas tank have a quarter gallon reservoir on the bottom that the bober can account for? Or should I just shut the fuck up? Cause that would throw off your math.

miles driven divided by gallons required to fill back up = miles per gallon.
example, mustang has a ~15 gallon tank, I usually fill it with 10 gallons as I never run it too low to keep the fuel pump healthy.
10 gallons, say I drove 200 miles, the math is pretty easy on this one...
