A 1994 Volvo 940 will do about 150 miles on that much gas, but that is strictly city driving.
Tank to tank it can vary greatly simply based on where you're driving. Highway driving costs less fuel-wise, whereas city driving (more time idling) costs more.
This is why starting Monday I'll be driving my boyfriend's Toyota Camry to work instead. I'd LOVE to swap for a bike, but the job requires that I have a car. So his older but more fuel effecient Camry is the better choice with rising gas costs.
It can also vary widely depending on the driver. I was always able to drive my old car, a 89 Volvo 240 sedan with a manual, more effeciently than my dad. I could squeeze out three extra miles a gallon over what he could do. This is more likely to happen with manuals, but it can happen with automatics too, especially if one person romps on the gas a lot but the other doesn't.
