I already have 215 miles on my first tank, and the gauge is just below 1/4, so I'm thinking yes...

Let's see..... 259.5 miles, 11.876 to fill = 21.85. This was 225 freeway miles and the rest in town. The prior fill with all freeway miles was 25.04. These figures are approx. 3 mpg above my average and reflect my change to an aFe drop-in air filter and Shell V-Power gas.

I got 7.8MPG my last tank. 152.8 miles 19.6 gallons. Track day is a killer on gas mileage.

Just calculated my very first tank of gas (picked car up Tuesday).

237 miles, 13.3 gallons = 17.8 mpg.

Not too bad considering it is the first tank. I was taking it pretty easy though.
