With gas prices being what they are I decided to see what my MPG is. I topped off my tank reset the trip odometer. Next time I filled up I did the math by dividing Milage by Gallons I just topped the tank of with.
13MPG in mixed driving!... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) . Just like my Brothers Yukon XL!
My MR2 28MPG and the Lexus 24MPG.
What are you getting in your blown Stangs?

I dont care what my MPG is in my Cobra. I dont even bother checking. I pay to play. Now in my VW GTI, I stress if Im not making 29-30 MPG. I can get about 380 out of a 13.5 gal doing the speed limit and never going over 3000 rpms. I'd sell the Cobra if I had to drive it everyday.

My '88 GT - Novi 2000/3.73 gears will do 24 mpg on the freeway, and something like half that in town (12-14 is my guess).
