Default Impressed with the gas mileage so far...
Doing a mix of highway (no REAL highways that are not stop and go in NJ though) and around town (back roads... not stoplights).
1st full tank:
Computer: 21
Actual: 20.5
2nd full tank:
Computer: 21
Actual: 20

Considering I just got the car, and have been testing out the power each time I stop... I am pretty impressed. With my typical heavy foot I really was thinking I would be in the 16-17 range.

If you're getting that kind of mileage, you're just not enjoying it like you should.

Default What are you running, 105 Octane? ;)
Nice numbers. I have yet to drive mine on a tank with more than 35% highway.

Default Obviously you are not enjoying the car enough. Need to mash on the gas more. =)
That will cut into your fuel economy a bit.

Default Recheck your figures. No one has reported figures that high unless
they were doing predominmatly highway driving. Especially if they have a lead foot.
