361.2 Miles to a Tank, Say What?
pretty much says it in the title. Didn't even run the car dry. Just wanted to see what the absolute best mileage I could get was so shifted every shift at 2500 RPM, and did absolutely no WOT driving. Anyway feel free to say how you don't believe me or discuss your own gas mileage. I was just really stoked about this so thought I'd post. Oh also the first 100 miles of the tank was downhill which definitely helped.

fuel was 91 octane, however I'm up at above 9000 feet in colorado, then drove down the hill to a little under 6000 in boulder. Does the high altitude help? it would make sense to me. Higher altitude, less air, less fuel needed to mix with.

only 40 dollars worth, which in hindsight, was really stupid, should have just topped it off so I could actually calculate the gas mileage. I'm figuring it had to be high twenties or even low 30s though.
If he is rolling down a mountain for the first 100 miles how is this not helping my point? we're talking about a 60 mile difference had I been rolling down a mountain.
