I got 367 miles out of my last full tank of gas. Drove it until I had about 10 miles worth of gas left.

On my last trip from DC to Florida I got almost 485 on each full tank. I was averaging about 27 mpg most of the way. Not bad for a sports car!

^ i get higher than 406 when i fill the tank full.. from mixed driving, well mostly city driving, i get about 380 miles.. I've never driven my Z on the highway to go from full to empty so i wouldn't know what my max would be.. plus on the highway, i'd be too tempted to floor it too many times to find out anyway..
