How many miles on a full tank?

just want to see what you guys are getting out there with/without mods. preferably people out there with the 35.7 gallon gas tank. how many miles do you guys usually get at the half tank mark? and how many miles can you go on a full tank?

i have the 35.7 i think the most ive gotten on a full tank and ran it under E was around 470miles........intake, straight pipe, and 87 performance tune

With no performance or economy mods I get between 500-700 miles per tank depending on how often I mash the pedal to the floor and how much Highway driving I do. I usually go every 6-8 days with each fill up.

This is all on a full tank. I never fill it at half because I'm already at the gas station too much as it is. I do have the 35.7 gallon tank though.

My 93 F250 gets about 200-250 miles per tank but it only has 15 gallons to work with.

how the hell do you get close to 700 miles on at tank?...i have a 08 3v 5.4 with everything stock other than a 2.5" level kit and roll up bed cover and i only get 16.2 miles to the gallon and i drive 1000 miles a week and i only get 400 miles to 26.3 gallons (i have a 30 gal tank). I think these truck are terrible on gas mileage...the sticker on mine said 13 city/17 highway....i've NEVER seen over 16.2 mpg

That's just a guess, I never bothered to check.

The longest trip I've gone on is 500 miles one way and I was able to do the entire trip one way on 1 tank of gas. But that was while doing 80-85 MPH down the interstate in straight lines.

I didn't think to check my mileage on that trip. 700 is probably a little high, it's probably closer to 600ish. but I know that with conservative driving I can get some good distances on a single tank with my 4.6.

Like you said though, you have a 5.4 so it will use slightly more gas plus I have smaller tires than most since it's the size that came from the factory.

I'm using 255/70/17s until I can afford the big change to 33s with level and new wheels and programmer.

How big is the tank on my 145" wheel base truck? As far as I can tell, it is in the neighborhood of 26-27 gallons.

My rangiest range has been about 320 miles, but with 35's and 3.55's my motor is always working OT to go down the road.

<--- '06, scab, 4x4, 6" lift, 35" muds, Magnaflow catback and VMP tunes
