Bought this car a few weeks ago. 1st tankful was 37.5 - then 38.00 jump to 39. then I took a long trip and kept the cruise to 62-64 and got 43.4mpg. The last tankful - mostly highway cruise set at 60mph and removed the rear wing, added racing disks hubcaps and replaced the plugs with laser platinum NGKs at the halfway mark. Just filled up again and this tankful came back at 48.5mpg! Been using the Fuelly Andriod app to keep track of my fill-ups. A few more cost savings like this and I will be able to afford a Scangauge. I would like to break 50mpg.
