A bigger Gas Tank?

I have an '03 and I am usually right around 260-270 when I fill up and that's with 1/4 tank left usually. When I REALLY grandma'd it I could get into the 300s. But yeah, when I dog it, it'll drop rapidly.

I average about 250-260 highway mileage.. when I'm totally empty, E-light on.. Takes about 12 gallons to fill it (My car is an 03) not sure the "Actual capacity" but about 12 gallons is what I always put in..
It depends on my driving, there's time when I get 210-220miles on a tank..

I ususally fill up almost 12galons and rarely see over 200 miles per tank. the very first tank I saw around 260 (lots of highway and a light foot). I am tuned with a high flow fuel pupm and I floor it alot, also there are alot of hills were I live. I hope my horrible gas milage isn't an indication of a problem. Probly Im just being paranoid.

I've had my evo for 14 months now, and almost 19k miles and have been keeiping a spreadsheet of gas consumption. My gas light comes on when I have 12.2 gone. I do half highway, half city driving. Traffic and city driving eats up my gas, as it idles very rich. As far as my range and mileage, I was averaging a range of 250 on 12.2 gallons initially, then after K&n typhoon and forge DV, my raneg jumped up to 285 on 12.2 gallons. My top range of all highway was about 365 on a little over 13 gallons, so I've been wondering if anyone has broken the magical mark of 400 miles on a tank. Anyone?

48 miles per tank, at the track (fuel starvation on hard cornering requires a refill after 10 gallons are used).
220 around town, refilling when light comes on (12 gallons).
270 on the highway (75-85 mph).
