Default Miles per tank of gas

How many miles are you guys getting on a tank of gas?

I just got 365 on my last tank of gas, mixed highway/city driving.. didn't baby it, drove it normal.

I'm not chipped, have an exhaust and an intake.

How about you guys?

I drive a 5 speed, get it in fifth for city driving, 45-55 mph

Hmmm.. I wonder why i'm getting such good gas mileage. Weird.

yea generally manual cars get a little better mileage, but if you get anywhere 280- 340 to a tank( till the light comes on) you're exactly where you should be

I usually get just under 300 miles per tank, mostly city (which sux *** in tampa). Does that sound normal for a chipped 5 speed?
