Default How many miles to a tank?

Just wondering how many miles folks are getting out of a tank of gas. For reference, when my gas light comes on, it takes about 13 gallons to fill it up.

Have I seen my gas light? I usually fill up when it gets low looking, and it's usually after 80-150 miles. No idea how far I can stretch a tank, but it certainly goes fast. So do the tires, got about 6000 miles on the current set and 1/32" left or so.

I got 140-160 to 12 gallons. I normally filled up right after it got to less then a quarter tank.

I get about 200-220 on a tank of gas and that is driving spirited about half the time too.
