How many miles/km do you get out of your tank?

I shall start =)
'96 DX 1.8L 4 speed auto.

I get approx. 325 miles with 50/50 city/highway on 13.2 gallons.

I also top off like 5 times when I fill up. usually to the point when the fuel comes out a little bit.

You shouldn't do that. Your car has a vapor chamber in the tank that takes vapors and uses them as fuel, but when you top off like that you choke (I think?, someone back me up) the vapor chamber.

Back on the topic, I get around 300 miles per tank driving in Chicago. (13.2 gal. tank)

I heard top off is also bad for the fuel level thingy in your tank, that measures how much fuel ...*brain fart* ... the "bobber" or somethin'

1996 Corolla 1.66L - about 400 miles but I travel about 360mi HWY once a week .

I went on a few trips over the summer in my '97 AE102 and had consistently gotten 650~km or so on 90%/10% highway/city driving.

I still had about 1/8th of the tank left though.

With my 94 1.6L 3-shift auto I get only 260mi on average (420km). Tank is 40L.
I've once gotten 500km (310mi) but IIRC I used 91 gas with octane booster, new oil change etc and all highway driving.
