Well I am getting about 19 mpg in the city. Kinda burns a hole in the pocket, but she is just so fun to drive.

24mpg for me on the interstate with 4.10s. I double checked it again on a road trip a few weeks ago. I average 20 miles per gallon, so prolly 16 city. I drive fairly easy 90% of the time and like a bat outta hell the other 10%, per tank that is. I usually shift around 2500-3k.

Don't worry about running it low like that. Just fill it up until the gas pump clicks off. Reset your trip odometer at that time. Drive 50 or 100 miles. Then go back to the gas station and fill it back up until the pump clicks off again. Divide the miles on you odometer by the gallons on the pump. Wa-la!

That's the only accurate way to get mpg
