I used to average just over 28 mpg in the city, I filled it up before my light came on or anything, usually around 12-13 gallons per fill. I got right around 370 every time I filled up.

Vast majority city driving, I get a steady 25MPG, or about 350 miles on 14ish gallons. I've never ran it beyond 15 gallons, just because I'm a poon, and two days on the gas light is long enough.

One tank I ran 33MPG with about 200 highway miles and the other 200 or so in heavy city traffic.

Now, when I drive 1200 miles round trip to FOO FIGHTERS in Nashville, I'm shooting for less than 3 full tanks round trip.

Looks like I'm in the same boat as Andrew. One of the worst 6thgens here in gas. I just refilled my tank shortly after the gas light came on, and I only travelled 287 miles! WTF is that all about? I'm assuming I can go about 30 miles after the gas light comes on? So about 310 miles to the tank? That's terrible. I only have basic mods like I/H/E and 17s. I'm using synthetic oil, does that cause any problems? I changed my plugs and wires, I guess I'm going to have to start cleaning the internals of my engine via engine additives. Seafoaming it up next oil change.
