Mileage & Fuel Price Check
No 91 octane here, just 93
at $2.40 per gallon. I started out at 22 mpg 60/40 city highway.
With 1200 miles now it feels like the mileage is going up, even though I'm now driving with more of a lead foot! (now that it's broken in. . .)

Last fill-up here in Connecticut was 2.37 for 93 Octane. I don't know what kind of mileage I'm getting because the answer would just emphasize the fact that I can't keep my foot off the gas.
I found an Upsolute dealer here in CT and will have chip done in a week or so. I'm going with K&Ns at the same time and I'm lookng into new exhaust/muffler.
For anyone interested, the dealer is "My Garage" in Naugatuck.

First 100% highway drive. With 93 octaine at $2.09 per gallon, 65 mph and cruise contol most of the time, I got over 33 mpg. I was very pleased with the mpg but it was murder not zipping around like I usually do.
WOW!!!
I filled up today - prices are dropping back down around here - $1.99 per gal for 93 octane at either Shell, BP. or Marathon.
I am getting about 23 mpg - 60% city - 40% highway - with the air conditioner on most of the time.

Only have about 500 miles on it. Pay between $2.06 and $2.19 for 93 octane. Got 26.5 mpg on last tank, and I drive, well, let's say aggressively. If it's there, I pass it. Mostly highway and slow rural/small town with very little traffic light action.
I average about 23 miles per gallon with my six speed... with triple digit speeds on the freeway daily... and a/c on at all times. Last week I payed $2.30 per gallon, but this week it went down to about $2.19 or so for 93 octane
you're all very lucky, i'm still looking for the job (just graduated) and I want to get a crossfire, can't afford it yet. For now i drive my 150hp eclipse and still only get 18-19mpg. I wish i could get 220hp and still have better fuel economy. I'm in SD too, the most expensive place in the country for gas. It'll probably cost me 35$ to fill my tank on the way home, at least i only have to buy 87 octane.
Am paying about 2.15 for 93 octane have been getting 26 - 28 mpg out of my 6 speed. I have found that shifting from 1st to 2nd to 4th to 6th (when not in need of speed) seems to help quite a bit. Got the idea from the automatic smart transmission

I have been doing this for the past few tanks and have seen an increase in gas mileage of 1 - 2 mpg. I have not been reving past 4000 (for the most part) and have not experiened any lugging
