Default MPG? What are you getting?

Im just curious as I drive a 95 SC300 and i get an average of 425miles per full tank. I dont know if that would be considered ****ty or what, but i do stricly Highway driving, 75miles a day of highway driving. When i first bought the car, i was averaging 320-350miles a tank, until i did a oil change....It helped drastically. Now im getting between 400-430miles a full tank.

Do any of you SC3 owners get close or past 500miles to a full tank?

I get about 400-425 per tank. It usually comes out to 21-24 mpg. I have a 95 5-speed.
One time heading out of Reno towards Sacramento, I got 28.5 mpg because it was all downhill.

I can get about 360-400 miles to the tank if I drive really conservatively. (which I usually do because I've gotten a couple speeding tickets in my lifetime....and i'm only 18 )

95 sc400

1993 SC400 on 93 Octaine pump gas with Mobile 1 Synthetic oil - 15-18 city, 21 to 24 highway which is 360 to 400 miles per 16.5 gallons of a full tank. I fill up when my gas light turns on which happens to be at the 16.5 gallons used mark for me. I've gotten this milage pretty much solidly the entire time I've owned my SC.
