I get about 18 most days, and my truck will get more then 230 before the 1/4 tank mark. By the way, you are correct in filling up at a 1/4 tank. Your fuel doesn't just feed your engine, it also cools your pump. That's why you shouldn't run it down to the gas light all the time. Jack up your tire pressure to the maximum manufacturer's recommended PSI, then drive slower and smart, less stop and go. Also keep up on maintenance.
