I do this on every tank, mainly because its a better indicator than the gas gauge of when I have to fill up.
2003 GT 4.6L Automatic here. 15.7 gallon tank, from what I've heard
On average, I'll get betwee 275 and 285 miles to a tank. I fill up when the low fuel light goes on.
Best tank I've ever got was 305 miles. That was on a trip to San Luis Obispo with the cruise set at 80-85. Worst was 250 the week I got it because I loved flooring it.

Ok guys I'm getting like 170 per tank so somthing is definately wrong. I can't bring it to the ford dealer because I have an offroad X pipe so I'll be totally ****ed and they'll void my warranty. What should I do? This sucks, I have no clue why I'm runnin so horribley rich and getting such bad gas mileage.

I called steeda (they're about 30 mins away from me) and the guy was a dick. He told me that dyno tuning it with a diablo chip wouldn't help at all and that there was nothing I could do. I thought they'd KNOW about cars at steeda. Its freakin $150/hr PLUS the chip to have them dyno tune it too.

Put your stock H-pipe back on and see if that fixes it. If it does, thats your problem. If not, take it back while the stocker is on.
I get anywhere from 250 up to 300 miles. When I fill up though, it usually only takes from 14 to 14.5 gallons. 
Guess my low fuel light is trigger happy. 
Only one time did I take over 15 gallons (and barely).
Just filled up today and calculated it to a little over 21mpg (I normally get 18.5, and that's getting on it quite often). If you hate/worry about/fear 4.10's, bite me, there's proof that they
you. 
That was with lots of highway driving too at those RIDICULOUS 4.10 rpm's.

I've gotten as little as 125 miles to most of a tank (filling I am near E). I've gotten as much as 300 all highway. I have a 2000GT with 3.73 gears, offroad X and SLP catback.
