Default 275 miles on a tank of gas

Hey ya'll i got 275 miles of a full tank of gas, this is by far my record!! I averaged before about 220! I recently put a Mac H pipe maybe that has to do something with it because the exhaust flow just opened up. Im just wondering what other 4.6 GTs average about?

Was this 275 mostly city or mix between city and highway? I usually get around 220 granny driving around the city. I'm also interested to know if this can be achieved solely by a new midpipe.

I thinks that is great for a V8 to get anything over 250 to a tank

After I installed my Bassani X, my miles went up anywhere between 15-20 per tank. I don't granny, but i don't redline it each time either, just a healthy mix. I get to about 225-230 before the light comes on, and never more unless there is a little interstate involved. 03GT

I was just testing mine last week and I got 285 miles on one tank with an even mix of highway/city driving. It sucked a little though because I kept my rpms below 2500 when shifting. I felt like a druck driver shifting every 6 mphs. I then drove like I normally do and I got 260 miles on the next tank. I would rather drive like I normally do for a difference of about 1 gallon($2.69)
