How Many Miles Per Tank?
I'm a newbie, so apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseum in a previous post, but I'm just curious: How many miles do you get on one full tank of gas?
I have a 2006 T5 and drive in a mix of highway and stop-and-go and have been getting about 290-300 miles before the gas light pops up and I push it to about 330 mi before I actually fill up.

This is one of those questions like "How long is a piece of string?"
It is very difficult to give a definitive answer as driving techniques differ so much. Hard acceleration and heavy braking will knock fuel consumption off the scale. A gentle approach with good forward vision to avoid heavy braking will give you a good return.
However, I always work on the principle that the manufacturers put in a fuel tank that is large enough to do 300 - 350miles which you say you get, so, by my reckoning, you are doing it right.
