Longest range I've experienced was 665 when the warning light came on. Could have most likely pushed it to 700 but no need to push my luck. And yes, mich, I dare say 400 would be a good guess towing a moderate load.
How fast were you driving on that tank and how much city traffic or stop and go did it consist of?
That tank included a trip from our home in se al to vacation home in wears valley (east tn), about 420 miles. Broken down; 120m @ 60 with a dozen little Podunk towns with too many traffic lights, 100m 4 lane @ 70 and the balance of the trip was interstate @ 70-75. Roughly, the remaining 250 miles consisted of local travel in & around pigeon forge, sevierville, Townsend, maryville & knoxville, tn. This range was a bit exceptional with norm on similar driving patterns have lately been between 625 & 650 before warning light comes on. My best mileage was a leisurely site seeing trip to Orlando on some 2 & 4 lane back roads. Being unfamiliar with the area I filled up prematurely, about 1/4 tank left, & don't recall the range but mileage hand calculated @ 31.1. Pretty phenomenal for a 6000# luxury vehicle.
