Default 27.91044 Mpg????

Hello all,
I just topped off my tank for the first time and calculated my mileage, 27.9! Boy was I surprised! That is all city driving too, I haven't taken it on any expressways yet. I do however drive like an old woman and I'm still in the break-in period so I've been shifting at 4k max. If this keeps up though this car won't be as expensive to feed as I thought it would. Is this just a fluke or have other people gotten similar mileage when taking it easy?

I just want to say I've had this car 2 days and I can't get enough of it. I put 230 miles on it just driving around. Come to think of it, it's time for another drive. See ya around!

Are you sure it wasn't 27.91043 MPG? You must put it in with an eyedropper to get that accurate of a reading.

There are some people that get over 30 MPG. I don't know how you guys do it. I only get between 20 - 25 MPG.

Best mileage to date: 30.4 mpg driving nonstop from San Francisco to LA (well to the gas station just before LA anyways)... going with the wind... 70 the whole way

Worst mileage to date: 12 mpg... Laguna Seca RULES!

Actually it was 187 miles / 6.7 gallons. My precision may be a tad exaggerated.

Cool, good to see that I can get reasonable mileage and a great performer in one car. Just not with the same tank of gas!

I went from 30 to 26 when installing the SC. Not only do I get there fast, I don't have to stop so much along the way!
