How many miles on one tank

How many miles has someone gone on one tank? I have gone 590 miles on one tank in my 2005 acura tl/AT.

Great result.
I made 490 on a trip to Canada from NY some time ago

Now in NY I drive in SS mode all the time and can make only 13-15 mpg.

First I topped of my tank. The for some reason I was getting 38 mpg from ohio to chicago and back. I pushed it to the limit though. I think I had to fill 16.9 gallons.

Under average daily driving, I'll normally get 290 miles before the light alerts me that I'm low.

I went to Vegas and back on a tank which is about 520 miles. I purposely pushed it. Topped it off. Aired the tires to 42psi. Drove 72mph which is where mine seems to get the best mileage. I only had to break cruise one time on the way up there and didn't stop at all for food or bathroom. Parked the car and didn't drive it again until I left Vegas. This was pushing it but even with the fuel light on and the computer telling me I had 2 miles to go, it only held 14.7 gallons. There's a pretty big altitude change and I took it real easy on the steep parts, and coasted for most of the downhill which made the miles to empty count backwards.
