Default Over 103K miles and still getting 300+ miles a tank!

Went to go fill up last night. Somehow, even with over 100k miles, this car got over 300 miles and i still had some gas to go! I didn't feel like pushing my luck and 300 was good enough lol.

Half city, half hwy, top down about 75% of the time and a passenger about 50% of the time. Not bad!

I'm lucky to get 260-270 the way I drive. I'm sure the gears don't help much either.

Do you use something along with fuel, like octane booster or something ?

I exclusively fill up with Shell and I'm lucky if I hit 250. It's definitely the way I drive though, because I let my Dad drive my car for 100 miles this weekend I easily hit 300 on that tank.
