Great improvement during last 2 months : 800 to 1000 miles/tank 
You should achieve your next goal rather quickly 
I estimate my current tank at 65mpg and have to drive at 75mpg the remaining to achieve 69mpg and 1056mi (1700km), this distance may not be for my current tank...

Hi,
I just set a new high MPG for my xA: 51.68. And that was with a (slightly) rough start on the tank: the car was in for service and I got an inspection sticker, and I drove around town for the weekend with my family for the first 1/4 tank or so.

New distance record for my xA: 579 miles on a tank!
New MPG high on a tank: 53.7 MPG!
New 3 tank high: 52 MPG!
New 90 Day Average MPG: 50.29
Before I started ecodriving, my best tank was 429.4 miles and my average tank was 371.28 miles. My average MPG was 36.95.
Last year my best tank distance was 509.3, and it was the only tank I had over 500 miles.
This year I have had 18 tanks over 500 miles! Since the first over 500 mile tank this year, I only had 5 tanks that were not over 500 miles...
And in the ~1.5 years since I started ecodriving, my average tank has gone 465.73 miles -- 94.45 more miles per tank! And my average MPG since I started ecodriving is 45.93 -- an 8.98mpg improvement.

This winter a French TV commercial was based upon the fact the cars can be driving 1300km (808mi) with a single tank. I got the aim of 1600km (994.4mi) that I pushed to 1610.9km (1001.2mi).
After my best tank at 1669.6km (1037.7mi) and a bad tank at 1459.2km (906.9mi), I got the aim to have 4 tanks with an average over 1000mi per tank.
I failed by 36km (22.4mi), but reached the 1600km/tank (994.4mi) which is enough for me noticeably with the city driving and traffic jam from last weeks.
Denis.
