I know the feeling, everywhere I need to go is just freeways with construction going on. Makes any commute a lot slower then it needs to be

In a 250 you're getting that much on the highway? You must either drive fast or be in a lot of traffic. That's terrible highway mileage for a 250! lol

Actually the MPG/range sounds about right. I'm getting ~27 per tank on my 350 and a full tank gets me an indicated 420 miles

If the roads are flat or mostly downhill, you just might be able to if you're easy on the gas!
