I drive about 80% around town with the a/c on most of the time. Only mod the car has is a cat back magnaflow exhaust system. K&N drop in filter on the way. Should i be gettin more per tank? How many r u guys gettin? Oh mine is a 97 es.

The 97 ES300 has a fuel tank capacity of 18.5 gallons. Assuming you fill it to the brim at the pump with 17 gallons, give or take, 350 miles puts you a little above 20.5 mpg. From what I've read and from what the other members say, that should be spot on and acceptable.

350 - 370 miles is usually what I get out of a tank driving both city / hwy.
