No flames here - already had my fill of them today at work -

If you put 15-16 Gallons of gas in your car - that's pretty crappy mileage. Without knowing how many gallons a fill up takes, there is no correct answer to your question.

I typically get between 360-410 miles per tank. I use 93 octane.

if I granny the car around town, I can just squeeze out 480 MPG. Worst I've done is 330 MPG, and I was driving it like I stole it.

With each fillup, I pour about 50 mL of snake oil into the fuel tank. It filters the fuel and helps lean out the mixture.

Yeah, they are! Is 80 miles to a 13 gallon fillup good? Maybe I should start shifting out of first when I'm on the freeway...

Bad milage. I go 250 miles on a fill-up and the reserve light normally does not come on. It does pop on at about 260 miles though.
