460 Mileage??

I have a 96 ford f-250 4x4 reg cab longbed with 9 inch of lift on 38s. My truck has factory gears in it but does not no these tires are on here and will still outrun almost anything truck wise but a gas station. I generally get 250 miles out of both tanks (this sucks) and thats running the rear one dry. I noticed the other day the less gas i put in it the better mileage i seam to get. I can put 18gallons in my rear tank and only get about 120 miles out of it and the other day i only got 90. But i can put 13-14 in the front and go 120 easy. And the other day i feeled the front tank and feel the rear tank halfway and got 70 to the rear. Filling both tanks when im on empty it will take 33gallons. I just feel like i have a problem gas mileage wise. Those of yall with 460s how far can yall go to both tanks?

88 250, 460, 5-sp, all stock except 35's instead of 33's. I also get about 250 between fill's. Usually 30-32 gal to top off. That's about 90% city at 8mpg. Road trips I can go about 320mi.
