thats nice and all, but that can easily be "fake". I can coast my evo down a hill, reset the the info screen and get like 60mpg. however once I put my foot on the gas, it drops down to like 30 and so on.

PS. not calling you liar but, 32 seems very high. I've managed like 28-29 driving VERY liberally on my 40 mile commute. But if you achieved it, good job!

lols!

Ya, I got gas and reset the MPG. This was from the gas station to the office, about a 10 mile drive with some slight uphills and downhills (but it's Dallas, nothing too severe). And the speed limit was 35 the whole way...

So ya, it's not for a whole tank or anything (I average around 18-19 around town).

Just thought it was pretty funny so I posted it :0)

I get about 22-23 on a 50 mile commute. Not bad, since I'm doing between 75-110 (traffic permitting). Probably around 85 most of the way. Maybe someday I'll try to go for max mileage, but I'm addicted to the right foot!

I actually was able to manage 12.1 MPG at Thunderbolt a few weeks back.

I actually wasn't doing anything special, but looked down and saw 30mpg on the HUD, so I switched over to this display on the NAV and tried to get it over 32. Got to 32.8 and then it went down as I hit some red lights.

My buddy thought I was nuts for driving so slow, but took the picture anyway!

Weak. I used 14 gallons in 3 sessions last time I was at Summit. 44.3 miles total!
