359 here...filled up 12.3 gallons. Driving like a complete grandma, no boost at all and <3k shifts.

I usually get about 270 or so before the light comes on.

A flash, or even aa properly tuned AFC, will improve your MPG slightly, but really just shifting at low RPMs will yield you good gas mileage. I heard stories of people getting 30+ MPG with a properly tuned AEM EMS, but this is defiitely not a cheap route.

I am in the same boat. With 1500 miles on the ODO my best tank to date gave me 277 miles. I usually get 260-270 miles per tank. I am averaging about 22 mpg in mixed driving. I try not to go above 3K on surface streets and drive between 70-75 mph on the freeway.

i get about 300 miles with some boost usally 12.2-12.5 gal. I have autronic so im a good 15:0 out of boost.

when i had Dynoflash i usally got 250 to a tank and once i hit 330 ish driving home from chicago.

How much fuel can actually fit in out tanks. I think the most ive ever put in was 12.9 gal. How far can we push the amber light????

14 gallons or so if you completely run it dry. I usually fill up at around 12.5 gallons.

340 miles, all Hwy was the best from 12.5 gallons. I average about 220-250 per 12.5 gallons mostly city miles. I try to drive like a granny, but i just can't seem to do it.
