I routinely get 280 and sometimes 300 miles out of a tank with a combination of city and highway driving. It largely depends on how much high revving I do, so, no, there are two of us who get "high" mileage.

Ever wonder why everyone was passing you even though you were doing 100? Switch it off metric and then see what it reads.

+100

That;s a good one

I know the car was empty because I put 12gal in!

I thought I read in my owner's manual that the fuel capacity was 13.2 gallons.

I highly doubt you're getting 300, even when I was brand new, baby driving, I never saw over 260 on a cross state interstate only drive.

I routinely get around 280-290 (with over half a gallon to spare), VTECing about twice a day, so 300 is definitely possible.

I've yet to hit that magic number though...
