A mile is the same both sides of the Atlantic so how many ACTUAL miles on a tankful is a useful measure. Range is not a useful measure because it varies according to unknown factors in any one tankful.
As for US/Imperial gallons and therefore MPG... the a US gallon (and MPG) is EXACTLY 4/5 (80%) of a UK gallon (and MPG).

Hmmm.. I'd hoped I'd moved on from the 10-15% and brought an exact 20% to the table.
But there's not much difference between 10 and 20% I guess.

For my normal driving - not a long trip or anything, I get in the low 400 mile range. On a recent fill up, I had gone 414 miles, and the car still had 2.2 gallons of fuel left according to how much I was able to pump into the tank. Computed mileage was over 25mpg US.

After modest 60 mph driving I get 620 (British) miles showing as my range on filling her up. What is the best you get?
Lucky you I only get 300 - 325 max, but 95% of my journeys are short hops

If I have 3 days on the trot of motorway crusing I can get 500 out of it but no more than that, but still great considering what the car is capable of.
