This tank was 100% street driving, however I didn't let it goes complete to E(the check gauge light didn't come on).
I thought that was a bit low.

I could get maybe 250 miles on a tank, but I'd be blowing CLOUDS of carbon out when I finally did get on the gas!!

It really doesn't matter to me, I get about 200 but I could care less if I got 150, I didn't buy the car for MPG ( that's what we have a sunfire and an old 3.3 intrepid for ) I bought this baby to drive fast and hard. I can't wait till I get mods

I get around 290 before my check gauge light comes on.
I ALWAYS get 200 with half a tank left and then it drops like a rock. I wish the guage was more accurate. When the check gauge light comes on I can only put in maybe 13-14 gallons. So I since I have a 16.8 gallon tank(new news to me, thought I had 15.5) I should be able to get another 40-50 miles out of it.
Headers really seemed to help the gas mileage!
