build a custom fuel tank, then you can get a ton more miles out of a tank of gas

of course autos arent gonna get as good out of a full than a stick

ive gotten close to 400 on the highway before but that was doin 60 and gettin like 35 mpg

i average about 210 a tank and thats because i do close to 80-90 mph on the highway if i keep it cool i see about 230

I was just joking about that, the money it would cost to have that custom fabed would be better put to use buying gas
i just think in terms of mpg since i never run my tank dry
my gas mileage sucks, i need to work on that. im getting like 20mpg

That's how you have to do it. Keep it at constant speed. 64 - 66 MPH is where you can save the most gas, unless you change speeds.

If I were you, why dont u pour some lucas oil fuel treatment. You can buy them at your local auto parts store. I like it because it actually increased my gas mileage and power. I use it everytime i fill up.

Key Benefits:
-A great tune-up in a bottle
-Cleans and lubricates the fuel system
-Neutralizes low sulfur fuel problems
-Increases power and miles per gallon by burning excess exhaust emissions
-Increases the life of pumps and injectors
