Hard work, sacrifice, I work 7 days a week, long hours, school at nights, and its not easy waking up every day not knowing if I will be able to support myself, let alone get a job somewhere else if I had to.

Who you trying to kid? Unless you shut down the fuel pump, raise a sail, and do all your driving downhill, there ain't no way in hell a 2008 GT 500 gets that kind of mileage!

It's EPA rated at 14 city and 20 highway, came with a $1300 Gas Guzzler tax because it could not achieve 21 mpg on the highway. Nice try, but that's

You'd be wrong, I'm getting around 400 miles a tank on a 16 gallon tank... do some math works out to 25. I just happen to know because I drive the car... but then again you might know better...

You have a gt500? is this a new rated at 500hp? and only 1.5 cars ahead to 130mph. I'm lost. Are those cars really that slow. well,good kill.

gt500 is same weight or less with 150 more hp...you'd think that would be more than two cars??

Well actually, I do know better. Now you might squeak out 25mpg on the highway, but that's still a long ways from your earlier boast of 29-31mpg! Keep it real man.

thats 25 with around town mixed in, driving to the track on the turn pike every time I go I watch my fuel economy guage and do the math myself and every time its between 29-31, surprisingly, the dealer who I bought it from who has another one also can affirm this with his car.... but hey, maybe its because I keep it below 70, or it could be that the car just actually gets that mileage



trip is at 544... just for reference

Well, if that's for real, I'd ask for a reimbursement on the $1300 gas guzzler tax!

Hahahhahaha...riiiiiiiiiiiiight The car is rated at what 22 on the highway...and you are claiming up to 31. Your gauge is lying to you. Looks like you reset the gauge on the highway going 60 and took the picture....that's not your real mpg.
