If they fit under the steering wheel that will save a trip to the lead shoe factory!! I think these MPG posts are too funny.. many of my co-workers ask "what type of milage do you get" I am like... ?? WHAT ??? WHO THE F*CK CARES!!

6 is as low as I have seen, I would love to be able to make that claim, but I drive like a granny!!! (sometimes!)

Not me - 13L per 100km. Haven't gotten more than 400km per tank in quite some time.

I was getting 7 mpg for the longest time, but last weekend at buttonwillow, It was down below 7 for the first time.

I average 23-24 per tank, combined driving. One weekend of highway only, hardtop on, got 30 mpg & 29 mpg on the same leg of a trip (coming/going). At a PCA track event, got 12-13. Even before I started logging miles/fuel for business, I tended to keep logs throughout the years on my cars of miles/fuel/service. Often I've found a change in mpg will show up before I can actually feel a performance difference as something starts to get out of adjustment. Doesn't hurt to show to prospective buyers, either, along with service receipts.

yeah... same - I have the PSE, and that only makes you push the car more as the sound gets better above the 3000 RPMs :-) and full windows down to enjoy it

I never get more than 16.5 in city. I never drive on the freeway but when I have taken a trip it is about 28 @80mph. I am agressive but I cannot get my city mpg up very far. Maybe AC and lousy gas in Vegas?
