I get 30-34 MPG driving mostly freeway around 80MPH, but I get 36-40 MPG dropping it down to 60MPH. Keeping it below 3K seems to be optimal.

*WOOT! 300th post!*

i was

i was trying to keep it below 3400 rpms for gas milage but times arose when i needed to it just seems to struggle so much at 3000 rpms and in california 60 mph is suicide especially on the 5 durring non rush hour.

I cant seem to get above 34mpg. i get about 29-33mpg and that is mixed driving in traffic speeding and through city lights/traffic. But it is hard to drive slow when gasing it seems soo much fun especially when i got the last station intake and megen axle back which sounds really sweet like candy to my ears. It has a smooth sound that when i close my eyes its melodic low deep tone can put me to sleep.

Congrats. I've had mine for just over two weeks now, and only have about 300 miles on it (I do a lot of air travel for work, and the local office is only 3 miles away). I'm only on tank #2, and that was paid for by the dealership when they had to fix something. I'll check my mpg on this tank. It's not looking good, though, since almost all of my driving is done on city streets.

I love this car!
