    I don't fill up till I hit 300 on my V6. That's stock height with 265 Duratracs.

    I usually average about 350-375 miles per tank. Of course, that is filling up shortly after the light comes on. I've broken 400 twice I think and would be on pace almost every time.

    400 miles per tank?! I'm lucky if I break 230 with the V6...Usually get around 180-200... If I drive like grandma, I might get 250 per tank. even before the supercharger when I drove like grandma, I never broke 300 on 93 octane. You guys are lucky :)

    I'm usually 310-330 when the light comes on. I've been averaging high 18 to low 19. this last tank was 18.5, that was mostly highway, but I got into a pack of 7 cars doing about 90-95mph across the salt flats coming back from SLC That was only about 30 miles of the trip though. The rest was cruise set at 82 with ac on. Thats all stock '11 DCSB v6 auto with a campershell.

    on my last tank I was about 1/4 way through it and I noticed I was averaging 19.6 mpg (according to ultra gauge). I knew I had a lot of highway driving left to do, so I decided to try to get 400 miles.

    My light came on at 315 miles and the needle was completely past E at 355 miles. Its at that point that I pussied out and filled up. Below are the stats

    total miles on this tank: 359.9
    took 18.699 gallons to fill up
    Averaged 19.3 mpg

    I did the calculations based on avg mpg and figured I could have driven 405 miles before running out, at least according to ultra gauge and fuelly.

    Geez...I only get 260 miles to a tank on average from my '07 V6 6spd w/ 2.5" lift and 285's. I fill about about 10-15 miles after the light comes on.

    The most I've ever gotten was 310 miles when the truck was 100% stock.
