joatmon! when you're on you're on! almost had my mountain dew come out my nose when i read that!anyways, the most i've gotten is 32mpg. i'm averaging about 30mpg

I have hardly been able to get above 30 on mine. '05 Base model with autumatic trans. I bought in Nov.'04 and never really gave it much thought because it was better than my previous GTP. Then lately I got a little curious and dug out my old spreadsheet(you just gotta love engineers). I will leave out the graphing part and just attach the main file, but here are my numbers since I started tracking. I currently have 16.5k miles on it. My driving consists of 80 miles a day on I75 running between 80 and 100mph. I have 5 miles to the x-way from home and the same at the other end for work. I wear steel toes so my foot tends to be a bit heavy(really officer I didn't mean to be going that fast, my shoe is just too heavy). All of my other miles are highway travel for work. Basically the biggest jump I have seen is after I installed the K&N, which just got me above 30mpg.

369.8, yesterday. I'm impressed! Of course 95% of it is highway driving, back and forth to work.

got 680km till the low fuel light just came on. mix of highway and city driving on pioneer gas. i estimate with about 43l of gas. this does not happen all the time, seems with esso gas i get less. low fuel light comes on at 600 and 640

The pump stopped around 13.25. I topped it off, but never had any overflow (although I'm sure it was up the neck from the sound of it).

i get around 28 mpg. i usually get the light when 10 gals are gone. when i refill i usually put in between 10.2 and 10.9. i usually get a constant 295-310. so that makes it about 27.5-28. mpg. btw. if you put in 14 gals, that tells you the gas station is cheatting you. bring the news over. not just that, ask for a refund. there was an investigation on this in so cal. they used to do the same, and they justified as we steel the gas by filling up on colder hours. the gov arnold i think got on their case. cali is not mod and car friendsly, but consumers seem to win much...

I got 30 again this last fill up, 30.48 to be exact. I filled up at 321 miles and put in 10.535 gallons. I usually go 2 clicks past the first when I want consistant reading to test by, or to the nearest dollar all other times. Still I am not seeing much over 30mpg. I didn't think my foot was that heavy. Maybe I should try a week of driving only 70 on the highway to see if I get an improvement.
