Whats the most mileage per tank you ever made...

So after the valve lash, and oil change, tranny oil change,
and a change in oil brandnames had me thinking what kind of differences might I make.

I have been using in the tranny, Royal Purple Synchromax.
And for motor oil, the royal purple 5w 20.

attatched is a picture of my mileage, it was reset before i started the car after filling up with 93 premium. This wasnt ALL highway mileage, and it wasnt all city. I even did a few races and fun stuff on the streets.
So just to explain that i didnt baby the car to milk mileage...
I drove how i normally drove.

The car was washed and waxed on day 2 of the fill up,
the fill up was done on thursday after the valve lash was set straight.

The red light turned on at the indicated number below...
I used to only get about 290.

I average about whatever equals 107% * 220 miles... since i have oversized tires my od' reads a little slower...

Also note, i'm a VERY spirited driver...

Somewhere in the 370's. I could've gone more, but you get to that point where you're not sure how much longer you have before you're out. Came out to around 31mpg and change. I only get that high when I'm really trying to get good mileage, which as someone else pointed out, is really boring. Normally I get around 300-315 per tank (around 29mpg)
