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!
