Most was freeway this tank but I still usually pull 20's when I drive straight on the street. I once pulled 24 MPG including a shitload of racing lol

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.

I filled up for $45'ish and ran it down added $9 and got 420'ish miles out of my tank. Lol. In my Honda of course.

it's not crazy, I regularly got 25mpg out of my `89 when it had the stock 5.0 motor in it.

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...
