Default What's the most miles.....

you've gotten on a tank of gas? I typically average about 360-375 all highway. This last tank I made an effort to drive very conservative and knocked down 423 miles! CHECK GAUGES on at 399 miles.

on the way down to Houston from Philly I estimate that I got about 450/tank. Filled up at 1/4 left each time with about 390/400 on the clock.
