That is just crazy, the best I could ever do stock was around 350-375 highway before gas light came on. If you figure that out 16.5 gallons total the light means just 2 left so that would give me around 25.5mpg Now with mods I am getting around 21mpg highway and probally about 13-14 around town....

Wrong starting in 1999 they changed to the 16.8 gallon plastic tank, and prior to that it was a 15.8 steel tank. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....80&postcount=2

I've never gotten better than 26mpg on the highway, and am usually happy to get over 18mpg combined (mostly city). If I stay strictly in the city, I get around 12mpg.
It's on a mostly stock M6.

I just filled up with 15.94 gallons {gas pump reading} ran it down into the E just to test so the tank would have to be bigger than 14.5....But I guess some cars are different both my 99 an 02 have taken more than 14.5......

Don't go by just the needle, they can hit E with a reserve of 1-2 gals in the tank still.
My gauge works like crap, so I go by my trip odometer. I usually see between 21-23mpg on my work commute (70% highway)
