    I did it again. Got tired of paying truck payments and gas and traded in for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport since I enjoyed my 2013 Sport so much.
    If I did nothing but interstate driving, probably 350. 2" lift with 265/75/16 AT tires.

    Just recently I did 1/2 tank all highway and the other 1/2 all city. Ended up with 18mpg and filled had about 3 gallons left with 300 on the trip ODO.

    No ethanol? I didn't know there was anywhere you could find that, here in MA and RI that's all we have, about 10%E.

    I usually get about 280-300 of combo city/hiway driving. The most I've gotten is about 320 of mostly hiway.

    edit: I filled up this afternoon and had driven 288 on the previous tank. I did the math and the mpg worked out to 18.96 which is where I expect it to be.

    My 2010 DC V-6 4WD OR (Calif.), with 2,700 miles on it so far got 16.5 mpg last fill up (comb. city/ hwy). The tank holds 20 gallons and the light came on when it was down about 18 gallons... 2 gallon (33 mile) reserve. So a full tank gives 330 miles.

    Took a road trip on the interstate (65mph) and got 460 out of the tank of 89 octane. Only have 1K on it right now. I can usually squeeze 23-23.5 mpg's out of it.

    Well, that tire is about 1 inch taller than the stock tire size I have on (265/70/16 or 30.6" dia. vs. your 31.5") so your odometer may be saying 280 miles but you are really closer to 300? Smaller tires are turning more than bigger... give a higher reading...?
