I don't know, 460 on a single tank is pushing it. Especially going over 70. Usually, Scions get their best gas mileage under or at 70mph. Unless you were going downhill for nearly all of the 460 miles, I am a bit skeptical.
and you shall continue to be skeptical. But just for your info, I was pushing it. The yellow light was on for a while. Also I am pretty sure the tank was a little over filled (not overflowing) But I still got that much out of a tank of gas. So its totally possible. Cruise controlling all the way. No winds, best conditions. Totally possible.

I just drove from rochester to nyc, started with a full tank ended with 1/4 tank. Thats about 380 miles. Spent most of it at 70-75 MPH. Got a small crack/chip in the middle of my winshield from that trip as well .

I don't know what it is about my tC or about my driving, but I now routinely fill up my tC after 360 miles, and i usually only have to put in 11.0-11.5 gallons. I've noticed that during the past 2-3 months, I'm averaging about 31-32+ MPG, whereas before, i was getting about 28 MPG. I do mostly highway driving ~70mph, but i mostly shift like a granny. However, I do open up full throttle now and then, so i can't figure out why I get the good mileage.

I'll agree with that.

The highest I've ever gotten on a tank was about 330 with the car going into retard mode. It sputtered and stopped when I was rolling into the gas station.
