Default Gas mileage!

So, today I filled up and to my suprise I got 325 miles out of this tank . Sad part is I probably could have squeezed another 20 miles out of it. I was so happy because usually I get only about 275 -280 on a fill up. What kind of gas mileage are you guys seeing. Keep in mind I ran a f150 lightning 3 times and a cobra 2 times on this tank, so I wasn't babying it. One of these days I will try and drive a whole tank without going into boost and see what I can pull out of it

I'm right there with you at about 320
I am never very easy on the car and I still get around that mpg.
I have tried to go a whole tank without boosting but for some reason that never really happens.

I have mine in stage 2 all the time and I average 325 per tank. I have squeezed out a couple 355 tanks before.

Not quite sure about the tank milage, I usually fill up around 300 miles. I average 23-26 mpg.

Damn, I thought my 320 was a lot but I guess that is average. I have killed a tank in like 180 miles before though when tuning.
