400 miles/tank Trip to FL

So I drove down to FL from NYC,NY for a little vacation and also to fix some issues with my license (yes i have a florida license).

I filled up with 94, cost me about 46 bucks on average to fill up, i got aprox 400 miles to a tank which is insane! thats about 31 miles to a gallon (which is better then the rated highway mileage) it cost me practicly nothing to drive down and back up, i also had a passenger plus 3 JL subs + amp/cap. and also 2 bags (clothes)

i was fine once as long as i didnt boost much, had her on cruise control the entire time.

anybody else get odd gas mileage?

hop on the interstate, reset the mpg thing, and chill.

on the way to the oregon coast and back i get 36-37 as long as I'm chillin. on 87 octane.

BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG! OUT OF A SUPERCHARGED COBALT, HELL YEA.

i get the cheapest gas. i still get 36-37 on the highway. city might be 29 or so. my meter shows around 400 when on the highway even with the cheap gas. would be alot better if we had a bigger gas tank.
