Default Full Tank Millage

I have a 2000 Blazer in which the gas gauge doesn't work, so can anyone tell me how many miles I should get to a tank of gas, I live in a rural area ,driving 55mph to 45mph most of the time.

i get around 150-160 miles to a half tank, so im guessing around 300, all depends on your driving habits

i never let it go below half, i heard our trucks fuel pumps dont like running low, so i take the advice haha

18 mpg - and fuel return dumps fuel into pump container so pump stays cool even when tank is low - no truth in burning pumps up by running below a half tank

240 mi with a marginal O2 sensor. I think a new one will up that by 25, maybe. I stay away from bottom feeding not because of burning up the pump but because the gage isn't too accurate down low, and has run out when there should have been a couple of gallons left.
