26 (UK) mpg on the roads here normally, 9.8 (UK) mpg on the track with my 2S; my best was 32 (UK) mpg on a trip where I stuck to the speed limits and went really lightfoot to see what I could get!

Curious we own sports cars they're fun to drive I agree with Edgy Who cares about gas mileage? If people are really concerned about saving a few pennies, drive a yugo I am buried deep into my throttle every stinking moment I can...and love filling 'er up again, as it means more miles in front of me!

exactly uncle josh...we all need to share that natural resource baby I save the environment by ensuring that all bugs killed during my drive are duly fed to the birds in my backyard. It all helps

This was from a surprise snow storm in Boston this year that managed to paralyze the city....I can't believe I managed to keep my 'cool' during the ordeal:

Hmm...mine read 13.6 mpg as I parked at work today. I drive all city and lots of stop lights.

I think the best that I've had one the highway was about 25 mpg. Don't see that too much.

I do tons of city driving. I get about 12 mpg. I do admit I can drive a bit aggressive.

Ok, just got back from a 2 hour highway trip. Drove medium hard, and got 24 mpg. I think this is pretty good for a world class sports car

Put more than 150 miles on the car today (trying to get through this god awful break in period) by driving down to Carlsbad and back... avg'd 23 mpg for the "trip" down and 25 for the "trip" back. Not bad at all.

Default Sunday Drive

Went for a drive yesterday to visit our niece who recently had a baby. This is the readout from the C2 at the end of the day.



Mostly highway driving, 75 to 85 on interstates. Lots of 2 lane, 3 mountain passes of over 6500 feet.
