we just passed 60k miles (good bye warranty!) on a 7hr each way trip. At 70mph, was getting 25mpg. We've also put on some Bridgestone Dueler tires, which are classified as Light Truck tires...so they are a bit heavier...Passenger tires should provide better mileage. Using cruise control around town, 20-21mpg is doable.

About 300 miles.

Fuel tank is 15.8 US Gallons (60L) for everything but the 2WD models/trims which is 16.6 US Gallons (63L). The first low fuel warning shows with approximately 2.6 US Gallons (10L) remaining, the second warning is with roughly 5L remaining. I always try to fill up shortly after the first warning. Running the tank dry is bad for the fuel pump overheating.

Fuel consumption is independent of tank size. Knowing your tank size lets you calculate distance based on others fuel consumption numbers above. Lots of factors come into play for fuel consumption including vehicle weight, engine size, driving style.

Use google for unit conversions - even weird things like fuel consumption:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=10L%2F100km+in+mpg

HTML Code:

SELECT COUNT(kmTravelled) as NumDataPoints, AVG(kmTravelled) as AverageDistanceKM FROM gasMileage WHERE lFuelUsed >= 50.0;
+---------------+-------------------+
| NumDataPoints | AverageDistanceKM |
+---------------+-------------------+
|            15 |        477.160000 |
+---------------+-------------------+

In 15 tanks where I used 50L of fuel or more I averaged 296 miles (477.16km).
