How many miles on your tank?

I'm interested to see the distances attainable with Ford's different engine/gas tank combos found on here. Post yours up.

Me:

4.2L V6 - 24.5 gal tank - 380 miles to empty

I average around 330 - 340 miles per tank.

25 gallon tank, 4.2 V6, 4x2, 6" lift with 33" tires, 4.56LS, Custom tuned XCAL2 by Troyer (usually run my 87 oct. performance tune but boating season is coming so I'll be switching to my 87 oct towing tune). My speedometer is calibrated via the XCAL2. For what it's worth, I drive that 4.2 like I stole it. It's not my daily driver, I flawlessly maintain it both mechanically and cosmetically, but I treat it like a truck.

Edit: That is mostly all city driving also, again, driving it like I stole it.

wow... looks like I can set a record... the best I've done (actual miles) was just over 500 on one tank - 508 miles if I remember, but I'd have to check my sheet at home where I track mileage.

I have a 2004 5.4 liter with the 35 gallon tank (I think its actually like 34.6 or something).

Interestingly (maybe?) if I take my best highway mileage, and my total tank size, I could theoretically go like 600 miles one one tank.

2005 5.4L 30 gallon tank. Used to get about 400 miles to the tank before I got new tires. Now I get about 340-360, not corrected for the larger tire size.
