Use a paint that fits your barrel better (if it's too tight or too small you waste gas).

What kind of barrel do you run?

Also drop your imput pressure a bit, your response wont be the same but it'll use less gas.

You bought a preset tank without knowing what pressure it outputs?

What kind of tank is it? Is it a 3k or a 4.5k? Also, do the people at your store fill it up all the way?

If I had to bet on the output pressure of the tank, I'd say 800-900.

Your problem is the 2200psi fills, on average you would get 750 shots with a 3000 or about 900 on a 4500psi fill with a 75ci tank, so 500 shots with a short fill is about right.

Boy, you know, I would have never thought to ask the guy if he tried filling his tank... I'll remember this next time.
