I just did 345 miles from Arcade, NY (upstate NY) back to my house in Hillsbourgh, NJ, on 3/4 tank of gas in my '05 Camry, averaging 80mph (yay night time driving). Thats close to 32mpg using cruise control a little over half of the driving time.

best with my car was 275 miles and when filling the car took 14 gallons of a 16 gallon tank. So my MPG was 19.64

The best for my truck being lifted was like 340 I think, and it took 23 gallons of a 26 gallon tank. I was getting about 14.78 out of that tank. Not bad for 4.10 gears and 35" tires.

5.7TPI gets about 200 miles or 14.5ish mpg using 14 gallons with stock 3:42's? when driven like a grandma
5.0TPI gets about 150 miles or 10.7ish mpg using 14 gallons with 3:73's when driven hard

I drove from NY to Virginia on a tank when my car was stock, can't remember how many miles but it was roughlky 31MPG with an M6. Now it gets like 22-23 the way it is now.

It's all in the way you accelerate, once you are up to speed it doesn't make much difference, like I said above that was my best. Probably averaged about 25-27 overall.
