I do have a vehicle that achieves 500 miles every single tank though...too bad it takes 37 gallons to refill the '90 Suburban after pushing it that far. Refueling the 'Burb was what inspired me to buy another Geo Metro. The last time I filled it, the receipt was for $142.00...believe me, that was the LAST time.......I bought the Metro days later.
if you want to, just to see how far you can go, carry a gallon of gas in a can with you when you get close, just in case...
