tank is 16 gal but there are many things that effect the mpg and i wondered wats the factory mpgs and how i can estimate but one ride could be 300 and the other 400 i drive anywhere from 75 to 90 miles hwy. and in the city i do the limit. but going a steady 75 i hit 425 going to gainsville

So your best mpg is about 25ish. That makes sense.

Its really not going to make that big of a difference.

The A/C and your driving style make the biggest.
