Personally i think i could get close to 800miles, already got 750 out of a tank, but that wasnt driving to see exactly how many miles i could squeeze out of a tank.

My volvo 240 glt did 250 miles to half a tank and only cost £28 to fill her back up to the top again so i would say around 500 miles to a full tank.
