WOW! What RPM are you guys shifting at for 300 miles from a tank? I am happy to get 200 from a tank but I have a leadfoot.

I usually get 200-275 miles with a couple stabs of the pedal here and there. This is about 50/50 city/highway or roughly 16 mpgs at worst 22.5/23 at the best

Not to hijack or anything...

I just did my trip home from Purdue. Filled up before I left and when I got home. It took 3.267 gallons to fill up on a 98.1 mile trip. That's 30.02mpg. It was all highway. Cruise set at 60 for half the trip. Cruise set at 65 for the rest of the miles. Also I had the tops off and windows down.(probably would have been better to have everything in and up, but it was such a nice day) Blower fan off of course.

I always get 20+mpg on mixed driving. Maybe mine is a freak.

It is still slow though.
Enjoy the mileage though for a weekend cruiser.

150-180, but it needs a tune bad, running really rich.

I get about 200-220 *mostly city about 35 of those miles being highway* since I've had it(over a week). At first it was sad to see the gauge move so fast but it isn't too bad considering I get on it a lot and my old v6 got about 280 miles driving the same places. I imagine it would get around the same as the v6 if I baby it to the extreme. I usually fill up at the check gauges light and put about 13.5 gallons in. With all this power, you have to compromise something...I guess it's great fuel economy, but whatever I like the "go pedal"
