Default How far can you go?

OK with the high gas prices, I'm trying to see how far I can go on a full tank of gas. If I drive like a granny, keep the top up, stay out of traffic, and really stretch it till I fill again, do you think I can get to 270 miles? 300? How bout an "honor system" contest?

Let's not worry about how much fuel you put in. Just go till you're as full as you dare (don't blame me for spills). Run it till you "chicken out" and fill it up (don't blame me if you run out of gas)

At the track on race rubber I saw 9 MPG!

Oh and FYI, the computer will "detune" the engine if you put a lower grade of gas in. You'll get less power, but thats about the only downside (some argue lower MPG too, but this is not proven).
