Oh yes - but only down hill on a flatbed
Impressive. What model? Stock? And I assume 95% Highway with minimal traffic?
2025 Base mode. ZERO mods. 100% highway....no traffic, speed limit driving and flat road.
Car is on ECON mode.
I fill the tank to the top of the filler tube (like, the gas rests right below where the cap screws into) and run it about 40-50 miles past when the miles left in the tank hit's zero. I regularly get 500+ miles per tank.
People on Facebook call me a liar, full of BS...but I'm simply reporting what I get. Believe it, great...don't, that's ok too.

I'm not sure I've even seen 300 miles on a tank....The other thing to note... my before commute miles to empty was 225 and my miles to empty after my commute was 177. That difference is 48 miles. My commute is 59 miles... so I beat the computer estimate by 11 miles
last time i filled up my tank i was able to get 305miles. but that was after i waited 30seconds past the automatic shut off at the pump. was able to get an extra gallon or two.
I've tried the extra fill time - but i'm not making fans at the pump!

Today, combination hgwy and local: 17 gallons, 325 miles, about 19 mph. Total odo = 6725.
It gets better. I have 22,000 miles on mine in 8 months. I'm averaging 20mpg. I did not believe the computer so I calculated it manually and came up with the same result.
