First of all, pretty sure your GT owner friend is either full of sh*t or just confused. I've seen a V6's that claim 400+ miles a tank but thats with an economic tune and aluminum driveshafts. There may be other factors too. The on dash isn't all that accurate all the time, your best results will be by paying attention to your odometer and how much gas you have to put in at fill up and doing some division. That being said, I average about 320 miles to the tank. Only mods are K&N CAI and dual exhaust with GT mufflers. I have a 25 mile freeway commute four days a week, but two of those days are in heavy traffic one way so those 50 miles a week aren't really "highway driving". I drive an average amount on the streets, though suburban streets are more forgiving than metropolitan streets when it comes to this stuff

An aluminum DS will reduce some of the parasitic loss in the drivetrain and frees-up a few RWHP. By increasing the efficiency of getting the power from the crank to the wheels, you're increasing overall efficiency w/o the engine working any harder.
