How many miles are you guys getting on a full tank of fuel? I usually see the light come on at about 295 miles and was wondering if that is similar to your results. I don't typically run the tank that low, but sometimes I don't pay attention, I'm having too much un!

It depends on what kind of driving I do. My commute is about 5 miles through the city...stop and go, never more than 30 miles an hour (it sucks ass). Then I get about 19-20 mpg. Highway, about 30.
 
I'm averaging between 23 - 26 MPG. I always check my mileage when I refuel. I think on my first full tank, I got only about 22.5.

My drive is about 24 miles each way to work, and it is mostly 'Back Road Boogie', which is very sweet!!

I've been getting 26-28 mpg.

I drive 25 miles one way to work via interstate. My normal drive is 3-4k rpms in 5th (depending on who's around ;) ).

Since it's cold here, I fill up at around 200 miles which leaves 1/3-1/4 of a tank left.

Britt: yeah, about 280 to 300 miles brings the light on; I think I have about 2 gallons left. Running Milwaukie to Hillsboro in rush hour traffic, I'm turning 24.3 to 24.7 mpg.

Still stock, but I'm going for the Injen intake if it's reasonably priced.
 
i can go 300 miles before the light comes on. 100% city driving, and i usually go easy on it.
 
So far I've gotten 2 weeks out of one tank ... because it's not going anywhere because of all this stupid snow! LOL
 
Wow! filled up this morning........only 22 MPG. Damn! I guess I need to keep my foot out of it for awhile! Nahhhh! Too much fun!!!
