I think 17 sounds about right. Ive never filled up over 16 though.
If I'm on the highway only I've done close to 440 miles per tank. Normal running around is more like 390ish (My weekly work commute with many stop light races and and flooring around some moron in a prius.)
My general average is 25-26 highway with some stop n go.
Beating the **** out of the car will kick that average down to 21-22. Ive never gotten below 20
They come loaded. the only real options that you could have gotten, are the active sway bars and radar cruise control, pre-crash. Those are pretty rare finds though.

I just picked up a Certified Used 450h a couple of weeks ago. From what I read, it is a 17 gallon tank. I've been getting between 23 and 24 mpg however, the novelty has not worn off yet, so I have been "testing" it out more often than I probably will on a normal basis.
Awesome car, by the way, I would highly recommend it based on my limited time behind the wheel. I came out of an 2002 Acura TL which I loved but this car...whew, simply fantastic.
Good Luck.

About a month ago I did a Vancouver BC to Seattle trip with my car (about 240 miles round trip) car got an easy 8.3 l/100km (34 mpg) returned home with more than half a tank. With three adults and the tiny trunk full of luggage.
And I drive my car fairly hard.. not a 1/4 mile at a time... but some days I do.
I love this car's technology, I love its mileage and I absolutely love its performance. Time will tell, but I hope that I will love its reliability.

Fact is, i only used the radar Cruise once since Jan. I rarely use CC. The Battery is doing fine and i just changed out the run flats for Conti Extreme grip. So the no spare does bother me a bit. But i'll take the guaranteed performance perk of the active suspension over the off chance of me getting a flat that my patch kit cant handle.

open the trunk and remove the carpet, the lift out the plastic floor under the carpet. if you see a small battery In the trunk well and no spare, the you have Active suspension.
