Mine IS350 usually says about 350 when I fill up. I could see making it to 400 with a some throttle reduction. People reporting 275 must be on it all the time, because I'm not easy on the throttle all the time and still stays in the 350 range

i get good gas mileage too...oh wait that was when i had the HS250h as a loaner...bummer.
i get about 330 or so a tank with a 5 mile commute. Which of course I run into 3 stop signs and about 11 red lights (90% of time it's guaranteed I run into ALL of them) on the way to work. Then only to speed up onto the highway which runs for about a quarter mile or less only to have to brake into the first exit and onto a rotary. Then hit my last red light. Not fun. Can't say gas is bad either with all that stop and go.

Interestingly I just got Huper Optik tint put all around (except windshield of course).
Two very interesting observations:
1. Had to bump climate control up 2 degrees to keep from getting frozen out of the car
2. Average MPG went up about 2mpg under same driving conditions
Its been 100 degrees F here in NC almost every day, and I park in roughly the same partially-shaded parking spot each day. Could be coincidence or something like humidity I'm not measuring properly, but if turns out to be the tint then I will say damn nice investment.

Of course it's a 250 RWD auto, but the range computer sucks anyways. I usually get 450-ish miles. Maybe it does the initial calculation is based on actual tank capacity instead of the BS low fuel light?
My tank average is usually 31-33 in everyday driving, I can push it to 34-36 on road trips.
