max milage per tank?

I got 320 mile and the dte shows about another 30 mile. But only fill up with 16+ Gallon. The dte seems to be too conservative.

What's your max milage for each fill?

Thanks!

I fill my around 350 religiously. On highway trips over 450 with almost a gallon left. My light come on just after I've used about 15 gallons and we have an 18.5 gallon tank, so...

I would say I get 420 or so per fillup which is usually about 15-16 gallons if I am taking a highway trip somewhere. During everyday use it is considerably less because I drive aggressively.

I changed over to Amsoil Synthetic 5W30 about 2 months ago and finally got around to check the gas milage on my wife's 2K GLE. 355 miles on 14.5 gallons of gas = 24.5 MPG.

My 2k2 gets 360-380 pretty much every tank (before the light comes on). On the highway I've had it go as high as 480.

I installed my injen and I was a little worried about the mileage, but so far, so good.

Esily 400-420 on the highway, 65-75 MPH.

350 in the city.

The warning light is very conservative, easily lighting up with 3.5 gal. left.

I have a 99 SE I get anywhere from 400 to 450 miles per tank with the 5-speed. I'd say 80 -20 highway to city driving. I am easy on the gas though too. Sorry if this does not apply to the 5th gen.
