im in ny where its about $4 a gallon it costs about $50 to fill up... and i average about 20-24 on a full tank, depends on how much racing i do. a full tank i think got me about i think if i remember right like 260 ish when i actually filled it all the way up. i rarely do that. but im sure you could tune it for better mpg, im gonna once my sniper tuner gets back.

Well I dont plan on any racing, so if i can get low to mid 20's, that would be nice.

My 04 stick gets 26-27 highway and about 23-24 normal mixed driving. It holds about $40 from a 1/4 tank at current prices.

I get over 20mpg with 4.10s (plusa couple other mods) in my svt, so it's mainly just how you drive. Would totally suggest the bump up to the V8 world though
