The fuel tank holds 15.8 gallons (I know this because I've run it out of gas before).
I have achieved 520 miles on less than 1 tank of fuel.
It's not hard to do the math. When your odometer is set at 000 when you fill the tank, and you fill it up with approx 12.5 gallons when you stop, (and it won't hold anymore) you have reached 41.6 mpg.
My car has done it. I'll note that the one time it did it I had literally just serviced the car fully. (02 sensors, fluid change, air filter, fuel filter, clean injectors, and spark plugs/wires)
I made the run from Northwest Arkansas to Wichita KS in about 2 hours, 40 minutes, with an average speed of just over 110mph running 93 octane fuel through the engine. The engine's innards were probably clean enough to eat off of. Upon my arrival, I did the tune up.
The return trip is when I got the incredible difference. I'll note that on the "to" trip, I managed to get all of 16-18mpg hwy, but eheh.... I'm sure you can understand why.
