With babying the car for warm up and streets, and pushing it to get to freeway speed, I got about 320, recently. I had filled my tank when the electronic gauge said 5 miles to go with the amount of gas I had left. But I also only filled it to 13.5 gallons when I found a gas station. So average 23 mpg.

Our tanks are what, 16 gallons? So, add 60 miles, Means I could had gone about 380-400 miles on an official 16 gallon full tank. Yeah baby!!!

When I drive it fairly hard 250 miles to the tank, when I'm easy on it I only get around 320 for some reason, this is city/highway combined btw.

since i got my car the best i've seen is about 340 miles per tank on the highway...
The avant's tank is a bit smaller if that makes you feel anybetter. I get 22 on my commute, 80mph or so, no babying. Haven't been on any long road trips yet with it.
