Default 325+ miles on a tank of gas what the heck...........

is going on. I have driven 325.2 miles on a single tank of gas and the dashboard says I have another 35 miles remaining (A little less than a quarter tank of gas). I drive the normal Northern California roads 680-I80-580 and so on. The traffic can be heavy at times, but the cruising speed is usually 75-80 MPH @ about 3100-3400 RPM. I normally get between 275 & 300 miles per tank. Has anyone else experienced this?

Default that's incredibly good

I've only seen close to 300 per tank a handful of times.

If I get 250 on a tank I'm happy, because I'll get 200 a tank if its all city driving.

I get around 225-275 normally but will be around 325 with some highway driving.

Could be due to a change to summer gas formulation and less ethanol.

That's great. With all city driving I'm lucky if I get 200.

Default Averaging 317 per tank over 15 months...

I track every tank in Excel to see the trends. My overall "real" mileage for all tanks is 20.4, my best mileage (for a whole tank) is 23.8, and my longest tank was 364 miles (on 15.7 gallons).

I get 10% better mileage in the summer (I live in Phoenix, so I'm not sure if it's the heat, change in fuel blend, or something else).
