how many miles are you getting from a full tank?

Assume it's mostly local driving, how many miles at best do you get with a full time gas ?

When I lived in town I would get maybe 400-450km out of a tank (250-280 miles). Average fuel economy was about 16L/100km (14mpg). Now that I live out in the country and my commute is 80% highway, I can stretch to 750km (about 460 miles) on a tank and I average 8.5-9L/100km (26-27mpg). It gets 15-20% worse in the winter.

My 3G TL typically goes 350/560 miles/kilometers, plus or minus ten percent, per tank during my normal day-to-day suburban commute cycle; on the highway I typically get 500/800 miles/kilometers, once again, plus or minus ten percent.

highway doing 70MPH can get over 500 miles, 75+MPH and it stays around 500 miles. City makes it plummet to around 300 miles range with a full tank.

Agreed. Given how biased the fuel gauge is in the 3G TLs, I'm thinking I could have easily gone 600+ on a few tanks I drove last fall; I managed ~540 miles on less than 15 gallons of fuel.

2010 6spd manual, getting around 250 miles per tank averaging around 14mpg, This is probably 90% city driving. My TL does suffer from heat soak so I wonder how this will change as the temperature drops.

400 miles give or take a little with it being 50/50 highway/city with driving conservative.
