I get around 300 in city before I fill up, computer says I could make 330 or so - just depends on stop and go traffic. I usually get 14-15 mpg in town.

On recent 1005 mile highway trip (each way) I would fill up at 350-375 when the reserve would first come on, not wanted to get stuck somewhere in the middle of the night. I'm sure I could have gotten 400-425 on those tanks running 75 mph. I'm thrilled my my gas mileage and when I plant my foot at 75 mph she still takes off like a jack rabbit!
