Hmm sounds like a good challange but that's really bad for your fuel pump. I usually wouldn't go under 1/4 tank otherwise the pump will start to heat up since it's not emerged in the gasoline. I usually get 350+ on a full tank [roughly].

so can anyone beat 552 miles on one tank?
What mpg's do you normally get? Is this typical for your car? I usually get 33 or so on my zetec mtx, but I have gotten as high as 36 mpgs.

The most iv got out of a tank is abt 550 miles. That was driving about 70 most of the time. Could have got more if id went a bit slower. I usually get abt 300-350 out of a tank with mixed driving
