i wouldn't risk it trying to reach 450 when the light is on. 400 is more realistic.

I used to drive from the border to Eugene OR to visit a friend in my 98 GS4. Filling up in Blaine, if traffic was good in Seattle and Portland, I could make it to his exit when the light would come on, around 638km, or 398 miles. Everything stock. Cruising @ 10 over the limit (so 65 or 75 mph, depending on the stretch.)

I get about 110-113 miles per every 1/4 tank. Measured it several times heading to Witchita Falls from Houston and back averaging 75/80mph. Car is a 00 GS3. When I drove my 93 Gs3 from Ft. Lauderdale to Houston I got 390 to the tank.

When the light comes on you have about 4.8 gallons to empty. At least that is how it works on my car. Light comes on it always takes 15 gallons to fill.
