You need to state whether you have a short bed or a long bed. There's a difference of about 10 gallons.
In my short bed truck I've gone as far as 510 miles on a tank.
Just recently I achieved my 2nd highest MPG ever for my truck at 16.7. Best ever was 16.9 well over 150,000 miles ago. Terminator T500 made a difference of about 1 MPG for me. I forgot I have an ECONO tune on my chip so I'm trying that one this tank to see if I can crack the elusive 17 MPG.

99 CC short 4x4
Most I ever put on one tank 383. about 240 highway, the rest in town.
I won't let the light turn on, I have no idea what in the bottom of my tank.
I've been playing with using +Cetane and there is a definate difference between the PS white and silver bottles. Using the silver bottles I can push my in town average over 17 mpg and while white (winterizer formula) only pushes me over 16.
I get 15.3 running stock... and lead footed. my wife can get better, but she follows the "not over 2k" while I constantly hit the red.
It'll take me a year to run enough fuel to give a better read of how I'm doing though. I'm only 8 tanks in on this truck. If you want to see how bad I'm doing you can watch my fuelly... I'm retentive about recording all fuel that goes into the vehicle.
I had over 40k miles recorded for both of my other cars (each) but my kids shredded the gas books.
I've since gone digital and out of their reach for water damage.
