Most Miles on 1 Tank of gas?

- Start date
Just completed a round trip of 425 miles. 95% was highway averaging 65mph. Filled up the morning of and made it back on the same tank with a little to spare. Run no ethanol fuel. Not too bad made the same trip earlier in the year with same results. 2001 tr4 4x4 210,000miles

That is simply amazing
I usually get 300 miles mostly city out of mine,bone stock with 265/75/16s. I do shut off the vehicle at the ATM,certain stop lights and such. For instance,the last stop light on my way home,if I catch it right as it turns red,it's 2 minutes until it turns green again. So that's 2mins wasting gas. I drive like a grandma as well.

its not completely outrageous. again it depends on the fuel and how 'full' you get your tank.
even though i swore i'd stop doing it, i still fill my tank up to between 19 & 20 gallons every time I fill up when i'm bone dry.
with that amount of gas, i've gone *almost* to 400 miles 2 or 3 times (the most recent about a month ago and it was by mistake..my fuel light is burned out and i simply wasn't paying attention).
however i dont get near that on highway miles, both times i nearly hit 400 i was doing country/backroads and in town driving averaging probably 45 mph or so.
on the interstate i'm too chicken to truly run it all the way down but i can almost certainly get close to 300 at 70+ speeds

On my cross country trip I got just over 360 miles on one tank.
100% highway miles I can average about 19.5mpg that was hauling 800lbs in the back though. So I suppose if truck was unloaded I could average 20mpg.
Still around town though, 100% city I am only getting 13.5mpg so far, that is also with a fair amount of warm up as in this heat I usually start the truck about 1-3 minutes before I ever walk out the door to get the AC to bring down the inside temp a bit.
I will have a better idea of my exact city MPG after a few more tankfuls.
But that is an improvement over what I was getting prior to changing the intake/air filter and the muffler. That change gave me at least 1.5-2mpg better on highway and about .5-1mpg better city.
I was getting 12.5-12.9mpg city for 2 years and nothing I did changed it until the intake and the muffler.
