depends on how you drive it! if your going 80+ most the way you should see 30mpg. last trip I took with my car was only 240miles each way and I did it with 1 tank of gas cruising @ 80 the way ther and between 80-120 on the way back.
biggest trip I've done was 1100miles round trip. I had to stop and fill up twice on the way up(which was up hill) obeying all the speed limits.. on the way back I only had to stop once for gas and arrived home w/ almost half a tank, and besides for stopping for gas in mid maine I was going 140 from the canadian border to just outside of boston.

haha I think it would be just a bit cheaper to change gears in the rear end than replace a t56
