If you're getting 350miles out of a tank, that's not that great
~350miles / 15.5gal = 22.58 miles/gal
But you probably get better mileage than that, the M5 helps you out with that some too.
My friends always get surprised when I tell them I get as good of highway mileage as their honda does, suddenly their excuses arent as good anymore

My gauge read over 1/2 a tank the other day, but I thought I'd put gas in to be safe since I would be driving about 70 miles... the thing drank OVER 10 GALLONS! Usually I fill up about 12-12.5 gallons! Over 1/2 a tank left my ***....
I never recommend driving our cars to the E mark LOL

I don't think I've ever put more than 14 gallons in mine though.

did you order the special '98 with the unique gas tank?
You can go about a full centimeter below the E on the f-body gas gauge. In fact the lowest I ever got the needle didn't even move when I cranked the car and I still only filled up about 16.3 gallons, had a full half gallon left! haha
