So, are you saying you can get around 500 miles on a tank of gas ?

Your car must be magic. I get around 300 mi before the light comes on...

Doesn't seem unrealistic. I've only had my '01 on one road trip so far, but it returned 31.4 mpg (miles driven / gallons used method), and that was with both trunks full and the top up/ac on at 74-75 mph with a few full-throttle toll booth merges.
