Default RE: miles per tank

Currently if I drive like a grandma on 87 octane, the most I can push it out to is about 380 miles (furthest ever), and it took 9.1 gallons to fill up so I got 42 mpg... that was the best EVER, during a 700-mile 1-stop trip during the summer on flat terrain. Granny driving I usually average lately around 36 mpg or so. If I get aggressive with it, I average 31-33 mpg. I drive a stick and a lot of highway miles too, if that helps your opinion at all.
