I have 250 and get around 390, but I do almost all highway. For ther person who said 450+ is crazy, its not possible. Okay take that back, I got like 440 one time on a trip from cali to New Mexico, but that was cruising at like 70-75 for the full 440.....doesn't get much better than that. I averaged like 33MPG on that trip which is amazing!!!

I drive a 350 and im getting around 330-360 city/hwy before the light turns on. Do yall know how much is in the reserve and how much farther can you go when you're on the letter E or when the light turns on?

when the light turns on, u usually have another 2 gallons in the tank or so... go check ur miles remaining on the tank, u should be able to go another 20 miles or so, aka 1 gallon left, when that number hits 0, i've done it multiple times, but don't push the limit that much...

It's really hard to gain meaningful comparisons with this poll since both 250 and 350 owners are chiming in, often without saying what they drive.
Second, very few here has run their tank completely empty so your range is just a function of when you decide to fill the tank. If you fill yours when the light first comes on, and I run mine two more gallons on the highway before I fill up, I just got 50 miles more range than you.
And of course there are calibration issues with how much gas is actually delivered at the pump, and whether you are really filling it to capacity each time the nozzle clicks stop. Do you give it one extra squeeze? All that matters...
In any case, the buckets are wide, so that's good, but the poll question is problematic.
