How many miles

Those of you with an SS. How many miles have you gotten out of one tank? I know it isn't good to run it empty, but I got 420 with the low fuel light on for about 5 miles.

The best so far (I've only got 1200 miles on it): The Low Fuel came on @ 392 miles--and it took 14.5 gallons to fill it... (27 mpg avg),.. and the DIC "average mpg" was right-on!

I use my car to drive a client around (they pay for gas) so it never gets low.

I hope yall getting 400 in the SS are driving all highway....I only drive about 10% highway and the rest is stop and go with tons of stop lights, I am only getting a tad over 300 and averaging 20-22

Yeah, most definently highway. This was a 1000 mile round trip for my SS, I would never get that in town. Oh yeah, forgot to mention mine is a 5-speed.
