531 miles on a tank of gas. filled it up with 94 ultra sunoco. when I say filled I mean maxed. you can pack in almost 4 more gallons after the pump clicks full. I knew it was gonna be a new high with the 94 octane, new mass air flow sensor, and FMIC. topped the bitch off in Dorney Park, PA and made it to Morganton, NC. All highway miles with cruise control varying from 65-70. boost came on sparingly, usually up hills. I wish I had a spare gallon of gas to see how much more I could have taken it, I got nervous towards the end when it was hitting "E"

now bow down bitches

maybe it's just a 99-00 thing but after the pump stopped I pulled back on the nozzle and allowed gas to flow in slowly until it was completely maxed

man thats awesome! Definetly great! Thats even better than hybrids, lol

I get about 460-470 from time to time on mine, thats ALL highway at 70-85 mph on 89 octane. Usually I get about 390-420 on weekly basis.

Once you went over 500 miles on tank, you cant beat that hehe

14.7 gallons when I filled it up in NC but I'm not sure how much was still left, needle was on E and didn't want to find out the hard way

Nitto 215/35/18 tires, any effects on my odomoter is next to nothing, I've checked

also I use synthetic oil

Saturday, I paid over $3 / gallon in Malibu (argh) Our rides get pretty decent mileage #'s (It could be worse). Attached is a shot of the gas station I fill up at on a regular basis - taken today.
