2nd tank got 301 miles: 7.976 gallons 93 octane (Exxon) for 37.73 mpg. Return fill-up was to same station and pump. Driving was 90% highway with small hills and wind gusts this week in Texas on Hwy 71 & 281. Manual shifts w/paddles and tried to keep shift point RPM's below 3500.

I've just filled up for the 10th time and got 42.26 mixed driving. I was at 301.7 when I pulled into the gas station and thought I'd be putting in close to 8 gallons but to my delight only 7.135. Needless to say I was smiling all the way home. The more I drive it the more I love it.

A couple longer highway drives this time but at 70+ mph ... and I got on it a couple times too ... Just filled up with 6.7 gallons and 290.1 miles - that's 43.25 mpg ... not shabby - the last several tanks have all been in the 43 mpg range.
happy happy joy joy ...

I can't believe some poeple are getting Crappy gas milage. I have 2600miles so far. My worst has been 37 city driving hard best city babying I got 44MPG it was on my 2nd tank and I was still braking her in. I would say 39-41 seems normal commuting MPG. I took a trip this week end and traveling 70 to 80 MPH I only got 43MPG 80 MPH she was running about 4K RPMs So on the way home I took The long way home traveling rt30 though PA to VA. 60MPH but stop and go ( there's lights to RT30 ) but I was really taking It eazy and I got 47.4MPG Best I really Havn't used the AC yet ( Its been to cold ). any way I think it posible to get 48 to 49MPG if you keep it at 60 to 65 MPH. I'm driving a Convertable and I was expecting worst. I really love this little Car.
