600kms per tank (with the odd trip to the redline every now and then)

The Lancer has a 50L tank, the FTO's is 60L... but still, i think it is more like 450kms per tank, maybe it is just my driving style

Depends on the style of driving you do.
I get around 450->500 when warning light comes on, and I got another 100kms after that. This is with a manual MIVEC on optimax with engine tuning, being used as a commuting car (however, I do drive slightly more aggressively than the average driver)
On a tank of Premium during highway/freeway cruising, I easily got 500-600 kms before the warning light.
So it depends on your driving style and the type of driving you do. But I'd go for the 450 mark for a 60 lt tank for a manual.
