Default With all the recent talk about gas prices and such, it seems like a number of people

have decided to use a single tank of gas and, with measured and efficient driving, see what sort of fuel efficiency numbers they are able to get.

I have started this exercise on several occasions but have been unable to make it through a single tank without succumbing to the desire to go WOT at least a few times.

I guess I'm just not cut out for this fuel-efficiency crap.

Default I actually ran out of gas this past Saturday at 277 miles on the tank.

I was trying to see how far I could push it with my normal city driving. It was great.

I'm still on the "cheaper" gas from mid-April. Of course, I've only driven about 80 miles since.

Default I've been doing this too. I currently have ~320 on the trip comp. with 1/4 tank to go...

Usually I run it down to zero. I've been getting ~260-280 with mostly city driving.

This tank is 95% highway.

I vow to someday break 400 miles on a single tank.
