It doesn't matter what car you have, if you achieved 500 miles in a single tank then you've accomplished something.*

*Must be mixed driving! Because a lot of cars can achieve 500 miles on the freeway in a single tank.

**This will give a good perspective for new members and is something easier to accomplish than the top 10.**

Post if you are 500+ miles.
Please include under which number you want to be.

A * sign next to somebody's name indicates they have a pick up truck or a 18 wheeler.

I think I might be able to get a 600 mile tank from straight highway driving, but to get it under mixed driving, I'd have to do more modz.

Most I ever got was 523 from mixed driving.

500 miles?! That would mean Id have to get 35 mpg. Hmm.... I just started FE driving on this tank, and im pretty sure it might break 400, which is big for me.

I used to get well over 500 in my Holden Jackaroo (Isuzu trooper) with its turbo diesel engine ...but I guess the two long range fuel tanks might have helped just a bit.

I have an 11 gallon tank. The most I've gotten so far was 39 mpg, which was not even 400 miles.

But that's combined driving. I have never taken this car on a trip long enough where I am on the freeway for a whole tank.

I'm going to start out with the goal of 400 miles or 40mpg, which ever I can get! Too bad it's starting to get cold so this may have to wait until next sumemr.

[Matt Timion]

I think the requirement that it has to be mixed driving is kinda silly. a 500 mile tank, regardless of how you get it, is huge.

Neat idea, Compaq.

But where'd you get my 600 mile fill-up? I've never done that.

I fill up once a month whether I need to or not, so I don't forget how to use the pumps at the gas station.

I haven't driven far enough in a month recently to do much record breaking, distance wise.

If I extrapolate my last tank: 358.9 miles / 4.44 gallons, I should have been able to go 854.5 miles on the full tank (10.5 US gal). But it would have taken me 2+ months.

Thats awesome...

or you could just not fill up your tank as much. =P
