I'm going to work on a 600 mile tank this summer- 600 miles/11 gallons means I need a 54.5mpg tank. do-able if it ever warms up here! I'm at 52.4 for this tank so far with about 100 miles to go (probably more like 50.5ish with guage discrepancy)- so not this tank.
I can't see why the pzev has a different size tank. the 2 engines are different, but even if they're physically different in size, or have different emmision equipment, that's all up front and the tank is in the back- so why change tanks?
ANYWAY- CONGRATS JOSH on your 700 mile tank. so how often are you going to the gas station?!!?

Kate, I think both of us should be able to get 600 mile tanks by simply increasing tire pressure to the max sidewall 44 psi (or 51 psi if you have dunlops and not b381s like me) looks like that and using a couple more tricks can get us both to 600 miles.
