The best I've gotten is 415. I get between 375 and 400 on a regular basis though. 26 gallon tank by the way.

I have a 34gal tank, and when I fill up, it’s usually at around 1/4 of a tank. So on 3/4 of a tank, I get around 350mi during the summer, and during winter it’s usually around 300mi.

Yea it's a 2wd with an Airaid CAI, 3.92 gears, and 20's. I drive it pretty easy unless I feel like hearing it roar.

In your case you have a lift kit and bigger tires am I correct? That lift kit will create a lot more drag for you and thus make the engine work harder. The tires are the same deal, especially if your gearing is less than 3.92. I always heard if you are going to get bigger than 33 inch tires then you should have at least 4.10.

-Keep your tachometer under 2200 RPM.
-Get a CAI and/or a tuner. I have an Airaid CAI.

I get about 450-480 miles on a 26 gal tank.
