How much miles do you get in a full tank?

How much miles do you get in a full tank? I use 76 and I get 250 miles per full tank. I finally have enough money to get it tuned up. What should I do to save more gas? I have an aem cai.

340 on my last fillup of 14 gallons; which was 24 mpg's. I do 50/50 with a lot of idle time too. It seems to have been getting better since I had the trans fluid changed and the oil jet installed. I was averaging around 19 mpgs before the fix. Still with the origional trans.

what the heck. im getting only 220 til the tank light comes on. my mileage is killing me! does the EGR insufficient flow or whatever effect the gas mileage? i still havent done cleaned it out due to crappy weather, but i didnt think it would do annything to how many miles i get.. im spending too much money on gas right now.

$2.15/ gallon for 92?! Oh man, I want to go back to Jersey. I'm paying 2.44/gallon up here. Btw, what mods do you guys have? I've heard having I/H/E lowers your mileage?
