How many miles do you get on a full tank?

On a full tank of gas I get 420km (260 miles). Does that sound right? And this is driving good.

I can go about 280 miles on a tank, depending on how I drive.

Cool

HI!... Ive got a severely modded 5.4 N/A making about 330H.P and have 4.10 gears. Last road trip I got 735KMS out of a tank. That was cruising at 2450RPM with the occasional spurt up to 130MPH a few times. In the city though it eats gas!!!!!!!!!!

I get close 12 to 13 city and close to 16 on the hwy. This is with mod's including an electric fan which helped. Yeah, we are talking close to 400 miles a tank on the highway. I'm anxious to see how the Long tube's i'm installing soon play into it. I think they will increase it further, but the torque converter, well.........

It just gets good mileage. On trip's i use cruise control and run 5 mph over the posted limit, and just stay outta the throttle/boost. I believe other's here are getting this as well. I have a 2002 Lightning.

I get about 300 and that's towing too. On the city I get about 260. I just don't see how you can get 350 or more, unless you drive like grandma

I have never tried to see what the total limit I can get on a tank, but I know I can do the 300 miles from home to JDM with about 1/8 left.

I usually get between 320 and 350. I do 70% highway and 30% city driving.
