Coming back from the PAA meet I got over 400 miles per tank. That includes about an hours' worth of stop-n-go traffic too...

Normally though, I get about 300-350 miles per tank.

Hey Julia,

He's New Yorker. Here in Southern Cal, there's no 94 octane. Maybe there is on East coast. Who knows?? :p

Geez, something is definitely wrong with that picture. Go get it checked out man. I normally get at least 300 miles per tank. If driven more aggressive, I get about 270miles per tank. 160 miles is very low!

Your gas mileage should increase once you hit 7500 miles and more. When I first got it I was averaging about that much...now slowly as I put more miles on it...the engine becomes more efficient and you will get better gas mileage.
