Default How many miles for a full tank do you get?

I have a 2000 TA with 350rwhp and get about 220 miles per tank. I do a combination of highway and street driving. I also have somewhat of a heavy foot.

What about everyone else? I am sure there are other threads like this but here is mine!

currently its at 275 with the line a little bit under a 1/4 so i would say 280-290ish per tank. Thats with shifting @ 2k-2.5k kept my foot out for the most part.

THANK YOU to all those that put under 200 on the tank... the rest of you...I dont believe you one bit. I have an 02 ws6 with low miles NO problems(believe me) and 6 spd. I short shift around town with the 93 octane...and no huge mods at all. And I get around 13mpg....stop making yallselves feel better. These cars waste gas. I probably get less with headlights up... Maybe 19 on highway, but thats tops. I just dont belieive 300 or 400 or even 280 to the tank on these cars...unless you are on 6th all day ONLY highway then maybe 260.
