Doubtful, but I wouldn't be surprised. My record tank was 505 when the light came on. Average speed was 80-90. Also, 100 miles of that trip were from Phoenix to Flagstaff...about a 3000 ft. elevation change. I could see 550 happening under near-perfect conditions

Yeah, so could I, but 550 on just a bit more than 3/4 of a tank as he said?
That would mean it would get 700 miles on that one tank alone.
That's better mileage than any hybrid car out there gets.

I get 455 KM's to a tank, on our contour!? That seems pretty bad, oh well it idles rough, stalls, doesn't run smooth, we should have a "BEATER CONTOUR" post, I would win! PS - I'm Serious!

They were replaced not long ago (the spark plugs)

it went back to the shop like 12 times! and they still couldn't fix it, oh and it all started after the timing belt was changed its soo crappy!
