Gas Mileage For Carbed 1500 Nomads

This is for you carbed Nomad riders. How far can you go on a tank of gas? I usually stop and fill up at about 90-100 miles if I don't know where the next station is located. Going to work I usually stretch it to 115-120. Depending on wind, speed & traffic I have ran out early at 88 miles (80+ MPH towing a trailer) and also been up to 149 miles (cruising the smokies). I have never tested how far I can go till the reserve is dry. :-/ My book says I have a 16 liter tank (I guess thats 4.2 -4.3 gl). When the gauge shows empty it will take about 3.3 to fill it up.
