oh ye of little faith it was running out of gas when I pulled it into the station (second time I've done that). But it did 371.5 on 14.3 gallons. Just cuz you refill it when you get to half a tank doesn't mean we're all scared

The key to getting great gas mileage is to be as smooth as possible on the throttle. No abrupt acceleration or deceleration, be as smooth as a feather on the gas pedal.

I own all you beotchs! I went 335 miles from Blackhawk (NoCal) to Valencia (SoCal) getting 25 miles to the gallon on a 2.3 stroker with 880cc injectors and a 35R. I also destroyed a Mustang GT (anything to stay awake on I-5) in a fourth gear pull on that tank.

Looks like I need a retune or something. Running DynoFlash custom tune, getting mainly low to high 10s and low 11s in AFR. I average about 21-22 MPG. I am jealous of you guys.

I'm sure you drafted the Mustang using minimal throttle till he lifted therefore increasing fuel economy (what a cheater!)

It's only a race if the car your running actually knows you're racing. Next thing you know he'll be claiming to run 10s on the stock MAF and intake box.

I get roughly 220-230 miles per tank in the city and 330-350 miles per tank on the freeway. This is with 880cc injectors, bigger turbo, XEDE, and other goodies.

I get 320-325 every fill up since its all highway miles. The highest I ever got was 354 running on fumes probably. It was just under the empty line. I was out of town and couldnt find a gas station.

BTW my car hasnt been tuned.

LOL ~200mpg regardless of highway or city driving my IX with only an HKS drop in filter. Most i've ever got was 220 on a tank (13 gallons) and that was all highway with absolutely zero boost.

The drop in filter increased my miles per tank by 10-15 for the first 1000 miles too.

I did it driving up and down mountains in well over 100 degree weather. I passed through Baker California where it was around 115. I had AC on also.
