Full tank??

I am getting 300 miles per tank when the tank is topped and by the time the "low fuel" light comes on. I use aproxemately 80% city and 20% highway driving and the car is 1993 V6 XLE Camry with 158000 miles does that sound right thank you.

I get in the 250 range on a tank on a '98 Camry with V6 before it gets in the empty range (I never get to the light coming on). Sometimes 300 on all highway trips. Somewhere between 18-24 miles to the gallon. Not great, IMO.

hmmm.... well i get around 280 miles on a full tank (5S-FE). i do about 25% highway and 75% city living in los angeles... but thing is, my spark plugs have gone bad and i will get everything fixed within a week or so... i'm hoping that can make efficiency go up. my bro has a 95 corolla, 7A-FE and gets about 400 miles on his full tank which is way smaller than the camry...
