I average anywhere form 260-280 miles a tank. I've hit 330 with 90% highway and 10% driving. You should definitely be above 200 at least though.

Wow some realistic mpg estimates are refreshing.
I get about 140 miles to a tank and the needle is just under 1/4
Stop and go driving only.
So I could probably hit 180 a tank.
I always thought something was wrong with my car when I used to hit other forums tha MPG seemed ridiculously high compared to my car.

I have never managed 300 on a tank yet. I've been SOOO close a couple times 290 and 295, but never hit that 300 mark. I would say on a spirited tank with mostly city driving I get about 200 to the tank and avg driving gets me 220 to 240. Get an intake and straight pipes to make it the most efficient for better MPG

Considering your location and heat soak 16 city would be a blessing.
I have a 180 t stat and live in better climate and can't come near that.
