In city driving, I get about 350-375 miles to the tank for city driving.

Last summer though, I took a drive to Virginia and then to Michigan and then back here to NJ and was averaging about 26-28 MPG on the highway depending on what octane level I was using. I was pretty impressed especially at an avergae speed of 75 mph.

Then again, it can be hard to drive like a freaking maniac with the traffic we have around here so I guess it's a blessing in disguise. I usually only have to fill the tank every 8 days or so. Not bad for a gas guzzling 5.4L hunk of iron yanking around 4600 pounds of steel.

I get about 260 to 300 US miles to a tank. Depends on where it is all around town of has some highway in it. So with gas prices to day Iam looking at 42 to 45 dollars a week for gas.:spinem:

Geez! I made a big fat mistake with my numbers and jsut realized it! My city driving is about 250-275 miles to the tank. The 350 to 375 miles to the tank is about what I see on high driving to work during the week and such. If I keep my foot out of it, it will easily run at about 18-20 MPG which is 400-450 mile per 25 gallon tank.

The best mileage I saw was on my trip to Michigan last summer. I was stopping for gas when ever I hit about 1/2 a tank left of gas. It was about 14 gallons per fill up, I stopped about 5 times for gas which was about every 325-350 miles. Which is about 23-26 MPG. On one leg on my return journey, I filled up with Sunoco Ultra 94 and for that section through Pennsylvania, I saw 27-28 MPG with the cruise control set at just under 75.
