No need for the caps lock. Don't do that. If you reply with the caps lock on, I'll have to close this thread. Everyone will flame you for it and not get to your question.

1. which engine type? V6?
2. are you running the A/C?

If you have the V6, blast the AC, floor it from red lights, have large rims, weigh 300lbs, and drive in traffic ... hitting 220 miles per "tank" is possible.

how many gallons do you consider a "tank"? from full to redlight? 10 gallons? 15 gallons?
