it's weird but... after my car hit over 42,000 miles and even with burnt out coils and spark plugs, my gas light is coming on at 260 miles... before it was like 180 or 200 at best. i'm not complaining but it's awesome haha

You don't show your location. What grade are you using (reg-mid-prem)? What mix is that of city and hwy? Do the speed limit on the hwy for half a tank and see what you will get! How many miles do you have and is it a M\T or A\T?

Greetings from finland! I got my "hi-power" 6-speed manual in mid january an it takes a full tank of gas in about 500km (divide it by 1.6 and you get miledge) Sorry about my bad in endlish, and i'am also a bit drunk€. BTW my car is Brilliant black 04, R32 "hi-power" 231hp with all accessories for european markets... I'll tell you more about it once i get my new camera within few week's.

And our 95 octane cas cost's 1.49 euros for 1/4 gallon!! So 1 gallon= about 6euros = 9 dollars/per gallon!!!

"so lowely expensive"

I'm surprised that in all this time a separate forum hasn't been created to talk incessantly about mpg.
