It was 296, then 285 miles per tank when the light came on with suburban driving and rush hour driving into work.
I think I will save about $50/month on gas, which I will put straight into a fund for tires.
Everything I read about the estimated MPG lead me to expect high teens in my driving, not over 20.
I was just up in Pittsburg this past weekend. Had a good time. You need to come to Carlisle next summer and join up with about 30 - 40 Crossfire owners at the Chrysler Nationals. It's a good time.
WRT the mileage. I get upper 20's on the highway and general high teens to low 20's around town. One trip I was actually around 30 mpg on the highway. Not bad at all.
Enjoy the car.
