In town, I get the rated 17, better or worse depending on how much I get on it. Highway with cruise I've seen 25.5-26. Without cruise, and playing around every now and then (because you've got to), I see 23-24 usually. The jump from 70 to 75 or 80 is the difference between 26 and 24.5 I've noticed, at least with my car.

Just go for the GT :D

If you are serious about worrying about gas milage, then you should keep your sixer IMO. It should be a crime to even consider gas milage for the GT's. If someone's car experience revolves around mileage, they should get a hybrid.

For the record - I get around 8 MPG and that's just the way I like it. (and my gas is $5.50 a gallon buying in 54 gallon drums)

Wow, I must drive the hell out of mine. I am currently getting 17.1 MPG. Come on guys, these cars are to be driven, not babied. Also, I take mine to the strip. * Thats why its low, and its going lower.

I'm averaging 21 right now. It's my daily driver so i think that's pretty good gas mileage for a GT. I honestly didn't expect to get that. I don't go overly crazy with it. I just get on it now and then. Get the GT. I think you'll forget all about gas mileage once you drive it.

Ya it pretty much all comes down to how you drive it. I can go down to 15mpg or so easily if I want to in my 6, so I know the GT's are capable of going lower than that easily if you drive it hard. I also wouldn't go off of what people say their guages say. Those things are notorious for being whacky and incorrect. Manually calculate it and you will get a much better estimate fo what you are getting. I say if you can afford to buy the GT then you can afford to pay for the gas.
