I get close to 200 miles per tank. I do about 15mpg combined. I reeally rev the hell out of my car and go WOT a lot. I dont understand how people only get 100 miles to the tank.
I go WOT every day, every trip at least once. about half of that is freeway driving and I dont always go in 6thgear, because I need to pass people up and downshift to 4th @ 80 So Im at 4000+rpms. isntead of using brakes. etc, etc..
with that said I get an average of 14-15mpg... If I just do highway only and no traffic I get over 21mph... on the way from L.A to Arizona I got 26+mpg and I went WOT a few times, with a 220lb passenger and used AC some of the way FYI.

if im doing mostly highway driving, the best i have gotten was 390 to a tank. that was in 6th crusing at about 85. city..thats where i lose it, like everyone else, i like the sound of my car, and passing people, so i go WOT a good bit.. usually get 190 a tank doing that, if i do 50/50 in the city i can get about 240-260.
