Pretty accurate. I got the same number, too.
What confused me was that my last 43mpg tank was at 240 for half, so I must have lost that 20 miles over the whole tank from red lights, idling, town driving, etc. 520miles would be a feat, and pretty scary!

It's raining, and I hate the rain. If I had an under tray fastened with tape it would most certainly fall off right now.

I think my CAI probably causes the engine to use more gas to compensate for the increased air coming in too. Not exactly sure of course.

Yeah I couldn't believe gas was $3.49 in Virginia.
