Ive got an 07 5.7 hemi and im averaging about 300 a tank. 50% highway 50% city and i drive with a heavy foot, jackrabbit starts and aggresive manuvering in town. That usually kills milage.

With my 26 gallon tanks and a very light foot, I can usually count on at least 400 miles, little more in the summer, little less in the winter. That's with absolutely NO city mileage, I live in a rural area.

26/gal. tank.....from where I bought the Truck it was 550/miles back home to Santa Monica.
This is down-hill all the way back. She had 10/miles on her, I put her in sixth gear, took her up to 85-mph. The rev's. were setting on 1500-1800/rpm's. That's about 700/rpm above idle.

That tank went 429/miles......WHOA!

Now with over 650/rwhp......under 8#'s/boost: 2.7/mpg, what a rush!

Thats with a 100 litre tank and a 2003 qc 2wd i thought for sure i was gonna run outta gas went about 125 km after the gas light came on ive never been able to get anything close to that for km since in city driving is usually about 400km if i try taking it kinda easy and highway probably about 600 km
