haha, i wish i could squeeze 250 out of my tank, but then again i dont drive like a grandma... still havent gotton over the new car thing and the urge to beat her around. maybe on the next tank i'll restrain myself and see what i get out of it driving it like a grandma.

.... although, on the drive home when i bought the car, i drove 670 miles on interstates on 2 tanks of gas... but that was all basicly non stop going about 60 miles per hour driving like a grandma

I get about 250 miles to the tank driving around every day. Comes out to right around 19-21 mpg. When I drove up to NY last week, I got 28.5 mpg...6spd. Not too bad for 400 rwhp.

220-250 city
325-375 Highway

3.42s are good for that but are useless at everything else.

i average 22 mpg almost every week. thats getting on it a few times but
otherwise driving like a granny. i skip gears most of the time from 1-3-5 or
1-4 depending on traffic. thats about 2/3 highway and 1/3 interstate. strictly
city i have no clue as i'm always on the interstate for something. strictly interstate,
the last time i was on a road trip i got over 30mpg, but that was also when i
was averaging 24-25mpg when i had 3.42's i currently have 12 bolt with 3.73's
full exhaust (had it before though) along with a lid and filter. 6 speed
