19 gallons in the tank X 17.25 mpg (75% of the 23 highway rating) = 327.75 miles
Gas used = 19 X 15% = 2.85 gallons
Mileage = 327.75 / 2.85 = 115
It would be fun to have a car that uses less GASOLINE per tank than some guy putting regular unleaded in his hybrid. It may not be cheaper, but I would love to be able to make the point. There is no better way to make your point than with FACTS on how much GASOLINE your Camaro uses.

That is a very interesting perspective. I must admit, I have never thought of it like this. Kind of cool when you think about it. Although your DPM (Dollars per mile) are still significantly higher than with Regular Unleaded it is at least another way to begin to move away from foreign dependence on oil.
