I got 285 miles to a tank yesterday

Driving to STM and back for the open house.... got 285 miles out of the tank. I think that's my best ever in 5 years of ownership. Averaged 70mph most of the drive, only 2 on-ramp pulls.

What's that work out to... 22mpg? 13 gallon tank?

Yea, same here - I rarely fill my tank full either. My typical daily driving averages around 15mpg.

I've gotten 280 to a tank on e-85, with only one 3rd gear burst. LOL

I got 300 once when I was far from home and it was 1 a.m. and convieniently my card was not working. I was like 90 miles out and had less than a quarter. When I got home I think my odometer said like 309? of course it was nearly bone dry when I filled up.

I get around 230-250 a tank daily driving. Mostly city and I don't think I've managed a tank yet without a pull here and there.

What was weird when I filled up afterwards was, I was only able to put 11.9 gallons back in. The fuel-filler clicked off at that point. I thought the car would take more than that since my fuel gauge was on the bottom mark and low-fuel light was on. I wonder if I could've gone a little further.

That's about what I get as well on my daily driver. It's all stock except exhaust.

I got 298 coming back from Norwalk on memorial day. That was with a few pulls and about 80 the whole way in Ohio.

This tank on daily commuting I'm already over 220 and still have a quarter to go so I'll probably squeak out 250 for a personal best.
