I've done over 400 miles a number of times on the highway without the trailer behind me.

Mid 300 miles on in town driving isn't a problem for me at all.

Ive got the bigger tank but tonight I pulled into the yard showing almost 500+/- miles and indicating 3/4 tank used. So thats about your size tank Id guess.

overhead shows 17+mpg.

Even though you didn't ask, my 44 gallon tank (on my Excursion) gets me between 660 - 725 miles to empty when filled and I haven't been running hard. If hard, the computer knows your average and reeuces the miles to empty on the overheard guage.

Thanks,

Jeff

I'm getting close to 500 miles, mostly highway. I don't do much "real city" driving.

I have pushed 400 miles with 1/4 tank left (29 gallon tank) with a soft foot at moderate highway speeds. Makes me nervous about going empty so I fill up then anyhow. The overhead calculator will show 500+ when full. Who can drive that far without making a pit stop anyhow? At least when drinking coffee . .

I can get around 500 miles per tank too, at 18 mpg. That's getting down to the bottom of the tank though, so I usually don't do it. But I feel compfortable with 400 miles.

I just drove 487 miles. 400 of it highway. I still showed slightly more than a quarter tank. I have a 29.00 gallon tank. Although filling it up to the neck it holds slightly more than 30.
