I took my tank below the reserve, (OBC was reading 0 miles left) and most I got was 14. I couldn't believe I still had another 1.5 gallons left (C4).

I get 18mpg going to work over Topanga, 25+ on a decent run on the freeway, and I got about 9mpg at Buttonwillow on Saturday. 14mpg sounds low, but not impossibly low.

And the answer is 12 mpg for 135 mph average. I guess we were below 10mpg on the longer straights, or a gallon in under 4 minutes at 160+
