Default Speaking of milage.....

I have 200 miles on my 50th. We drove from Ridgecrest California to Mammoth Lakes California tonite. Its a significant elevation change from 2000 feet to 8000 feet where our place is.
I wasnt exactly driving 65 mph with the cruise control on, but I did try to keep in under 4200 RPMs for break in.
25 mpg, going up hill 430 or MORE hp and power all over the map.
The gas gauge says 180 to empty, but its all down hill on the way back and 8000 feet to 5000 feet in the first 40 miles. We will probably be manufacturing fuel during that stretch. It will say like 230 miles to empty when we get down to that first 40 mile mark.

Congrads on getting that car! Spectacular.

I've found that the performance edges - speed on one side and economy on the other- just keep getting better over time. I remain amazed 2 and half years in.
