The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VII

Hey Jar, so you'd know this.. just out of curiousity.. the Z has what a 19/20 gallon gas tank, from topped off to empy on the highway, how many miles do you get on a full tank?

Im guessing 400 right?

The tank is 19.1 US Gallons. I get 350ish miles on a tank daily driving (I was barely getting 300 before my tune). The only time I get 400+ is when I'm at highway speeds for at least half a tank. Also, that is pretty much a full tank. I fill up at least 17 gallons about 95% of the time. This morning I filled up 18.2 gallons with 412 miles on the tank.

This of course excludes spirited fun I might have occasionally

The only thing to be aware of if you let your fuel get low is fuel starvation. If you're cruising on pretty flat roads, no problem. But if you take a cloverleaf exit, but be wary of a right hand curve at speed with throttle. There are many people that suggest you fill up at 1/4 or even 1/2 tank. I fill up enough that doing it that often would waste a lot of my time. I take it down to one dot and --- Miles Remaining virtually every time. But I have learned my driving style vs the miles I can expect to get on a tank over time, and now I can predict how much gas I'm going to fill up with a few tenths of a gallon.

Also, note that my EcuTek tune seems to have really helped my gas mileage. Before the tune, I'm not sure I could have gotten 400 miles on a tank unless I was driving 100% highway at around 75 mph or less. This past tank, I was driving about on the highway for about half of it (rest was my daily commute in town). Almost one quarter of the mileage was on an 85 mph toll road, and I had cruise control set at 93 mph. The rest of the highway miles were mostly cruise control at 80 mph on the interstate.
