driving back home 950 miles after buying the car, i usually got between 27 and 30 mpg. i was pleasantly surprised as i kept reading that highway mpg was supposed to be 25 or 26.

In fact, this translates to 40 miles per Imperial gallon. This is also the best that I once got on stretch of highway when my car was pre-supercharged and pre-4.44 gears. Not that I bought this car for the "economy" but isn't nice to know it can be?

However, don't tell "Steve c". He'll call the guy a liar as he did to me.

dont get that moron started....

I am going on 5 months from one tank of gas! Can't wait to pull my S out of storage and start burning it!

my last trip from PHX to Vegas i saw approx 29.xx mpg which, like the original poster, consisted of alot of 90-100mph 2lane speeds. i was quite surprised as i figured i'd net somewhere around 22 or so with those speeds! it rocks, my previous car (LT-1 T/A) netted around 15 highway
