Default How many miles do you get to the tank

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what others are getting for mileage out of the fuel tank.
My 06 5.4 FX4 is only getting about 250 miles to the tank but I think that is because I got low quality fuel at a no name station. I filled up at a local bp this time and am at 100 miles already at the 3/4 tank mark. Oh yeah, my tank is 27 gallons.

depends. sometimes upwards of 400 and sometimes just 325. not sure why it does that. seems the more expensie gas is here the farther i can go on a tank. cheaper the gas the shorter i can go on a tank.

List tank sizes too! Also, when do they switch to the winter blend gas in the north east?

27 gallon tank, I get 370 miles out of 22.75 gallons. If I ran it completely bone dry at that rate, I'd get about 440 miles.

Last time I filled up at bp, it was 23.8 gallons for 250 miles on the trip. Lets see how long the bp gas will get me. My tank size is 27 gal.
