Are you guys driving 5spds or autos? My 5spd is getting 365-395, with a gallon plus left in the tank when i fill up. I drive alot of highway miles, but about 25% stop and go. And yes, i do tach it up now and then.

i guess it just depends on how your driving, if you do more stop an go (lower mileage per gallon), if you drive on the highway alot (higher mileage per gallon).

mine is a 5 speed and it does depend on my driving. i i do a whole tank like a grandma, and on the highway, with no speeds over 65, i would probablyy get like 33 mpg, that would be nice, but i would feel like a wuss.
