38ish, didn't make it to my dad's gas station, epic failure a block away, and it was uphill. He just waved. : (

I once went 38 miles on my '06 X. It was still running when I pulled into the gas station. It took 4.28 gallons.

Recently went 28 miles of stop-and-go city commuting. It died as I was headed downhill to the station, and I coasted in with only the sound of the fan. It took 4.327 gallons.

I know it's not an 06, but just this weekend I went 32 on reserve 188 total on the tank on my 07. It took 4.312 gallons to fill it to the lip. If I had a gas can with me, I would have pushed it to see if I could have gotten a 200 mile tank.

42 miles. For the last 30 I was chugging along at 50 in top sweating as I knew there was no gas station for the next, well, 30 miles!

It took 16.2 litres to fill up.
