Awesome. Just wait till you get an exhaust system and become very confident behind the wheel. Then you're looking at a best of 12mpg

Just got back from a 500 mile trip. Averaged 25.6mpg, mostly highway driving with cruise locked at 70mph...... I guess I'm driving way to slow eh?

310 miles
divided by
8.8 gallons
equals
35 mpg
I bet you guys have more fun emptying your tanks though.

Hmmm. I'm on my fourth tank and I've yet to get over 14 MPG average. But it is creeping up. Gets expensive when you swing by a certain gas station for a few gallons of 100 octane ($5/gal) to combat the lame 91 CA-standard.

Did you ever have so much fun getting such poor mileage? I didn't think so.
