I use 91 octane. Yesterday I drove from Fresno to Coalinga with the A/C on. It's a straight shot on flat roads. I drove at between 55-60 mph and shifted at 2700 rpm. I currently have about 85 miles on this tank of gas and I'm a smidgeon below full. I figure that driving this way (which is a royal PITA 
) will yield me 28-29 mpg on the hwy (maybe 30 mpg w/o the A/C). I'm bone stock. I've noticed that even small bursts with full throttle and full boost really suck up the gas quickly. It's no fun, but with gas pushing $3.70/gallon for premium I don't have a choice. With as much driving as I do, I can save $20-$30/mo. on gas by driving like a grandma.

I am right around 23MPG average which would be around 320 miles to a tank if I drove it right down to that last drop.
I don't recommend it since your fuel pump uses the fuel for cooling in the tank.

I think I might have set a record. I pulled 423 miles off a tank of gas with a base map tune from Mark French while just breaking in the new engine. Thing is I had 2 more gallons left when I filled up.

shock as well but his a/f must be very lean and he must be driving at night with the windows up\no AC, straight road, a tail wind, no boost, little variation in TPS\Speed
