I’ve gotten over 400 miles to a tankfull on several occasions.
435 to be exact on my way down to Florida last month.
And it only took 14.79 gallons when I stopped for gas.

The cruise control was set anywhere from 75-85 depending on traffic.
My best MPG so far was 32.77, which was on the same trip last month.
(11.78 gallons over 386 miles)

This was with me, my wife and a weeks worth of luggage in the car.

Good mileage too............

Last month's trip to NY with cruise set at 76 and occasional visits to 80 I got 33.5 mpg. Thought it was an error or the tailwind but did 33 mpg on way home. In town I only get 23-24 mpg.

My best is 418 miles. I did a road trip from So. California to Lake Havasu, AZ. Average speed with and without cruise control was around 75-85 mph. Normally I get anywhere from 21-25 in normal driving. California sucks we only have 91 octane.

Drove to Omaha and back for thanks giving. About 400 miles each way, plus driving around there for the weekend. Cost me $18 to fillup before I left Minneapolis, and $18 to fillup when I left Omaha. Regular gasoline was $.99 down there, couldn't believe my frocking eyes.

I get over 300 miles per tank almost every tank. I average around 24mpg commuting about 70 miles a day (85% highway) averaging 80mph.......
