I average 22 out of both my stock camaro and blown TA. Besides basic maintainance a laptop and a good tune will do it.

i get around 220-250 depending on where i drive/how fast i drive. i did squeeze 320 out of it once, but that was all highway. if i slowed up a bit i could have gotten 350.

The gauge can vary by up to 1/4 tank depending on when you are looking at it during braking or accelerating when you are getting low.
