Currently working on a 86 626 LX non-turbo for high mileage R&D testing. The last MPG check the car was at 56.9 miles per gallon. It should be getting 60+MPG by next week. My goal is a 80-100 MPG car before the fall.
My new Sky engine will be the one to beat, with its cylinder deactivation and computer controlled electric valves.
My 16X could also benefit from these lastest improvements.

I have been running my tank to empty since day one. I replaced my pump at the 110,000 mark with no issues at all only because I was upgrading to a brand new BHR unit. The most I have gone is 307 miles (20.42MPG on that tank) on one tank and that was with a 15.03 gallon fill-up on a 15.9 gallon tank.
But usually I fill up soon after the gas light come son and that is about a 14.0 Gallon fill-up depending on how far I drive with the light on. From the time the light comes on you have about 2 gallons of reserve fuel.

I can squeak out almost exactly 300 miles per tank. My gas gauge is also pretty darn accurate (as far as fueld gauges go) with the first 1/4 taking me almost 75 and each successive quarter doing the same.
FYI I am 90% highway, 10% getting there
