How far will the MX-5 travel on a single tank of fuel?

I'm interested in buying a used (2006 onwards) Mazda MX-5 with a folding hard top. What sort of range does it have? Will I be able to do 300 miles per week without having to re-fuel?

MX-5 fuel tank 50 litres = 11 gallons. MPG 35 - 38. So 300 miles on a tank should be possible. Heavy right foot, maybe not. Look at the weather. Anything with an opening top just went up £500, but MX-5 prices generally will settle as the new model starts to arrive. Especially if we get another April summer and the weather deteriorates over May, June, July and August.
