Default 23-24 MPG



I always take gas measurements just to see where I am at and lately even with my 3:73's I am getting 24 mpg. I was just wondering if anyone else gets this on average around town or if I might be running lean? </P>

I'm still getting ~12 in town. But most of my driving is deep into the throttle. This is my first high powered car at all, and more importantly it's the first car I've drivin in a long time that wasn't either front or all wheel drive. I'm playing with it a lot trying to get used to fishtailing, power sliding around corners, correcting, and saving the out-of-control-OMG-we're-going-to-hit-that-ditch slide. Basically I'm trying to train my reflexes to get myself out of trouble, which the car likes to find. And it runs a bit rich.
