Makes sense as just about every car I have owned prior to trying to stretch a gallon of gas I have figured on about 400 mile tanks
With some aero mods (airdam, kammi back, and mirror redux), and a MPGuino to farther refine my technique I think I can comfortably break 500 miles before the river breaks.
