Default Most miles per tank of fuel

What is the most miles per 1 tank of fuel you have gotten? No top offs or adds along the way. What year, gear ratio, and trans? No woulda,shoulda,couldas.

Going to post in C4,C5,C6, and C7 sections.

Seems like if you only put 1/2 tank at a time in you will get better gas mileage as the car is lighter!!

uhh... ya, me neither.

however, i might go to the Prius forum and ask "what's the fastest 1/4 mile time you've recorded, no downhills, no push starts, no extra batteries attached?!"

never understood why vetters would be interested in breaking some mpg record

Default "Fuel Mileage"

Since you asked the furthest gone on a tank of fuel not gas my VW Jetta diesel has gone 667 miles on a tank

In the Corvette I'm having too much fun to notice how far it can go on a tank.

I'm getting around 300 miles on a 2008 LS3. Seems pretty crappy.

Last road trip I got nearly 28 mpg driving between 4-6 gears with no traffic. That's all I'll say about that. Just tell me which way is the super unleaded gas
