I've gotten 350 on tank before and it wasn't all highway miles either. 400+ should easily be had if all of the miles are the highway. I have a buddy that got 450 miles on a tank with 4.10s on a trip to california. I usually average anywhere from 280-330 with about 65% on the freeway.

That gives me hope, I have a header leak as well.
