I made it from Salina to Green River on empty with my Subaru WRX. I coasted neutral downhill whenever possible and never got my RPMs over 2000. Went 80 miles on an empty tank. Never thought I would have made it, but yep. You can get great mileage by driving with your hazard lights on and taking your time.

But that's another story... I'm talking about 68 MPG Subaru Legacy driving at freeway speed of 75MPH. I have no idea what BSFC is though. My Subaru Legacy GT gets 27 MPG if I have cruise control set to 75MPG.
