Gas mileage....so much worse than I thought!

Just for the heck of it I actually calculated my last tankful and got 17.5 mpg. And this was with my typical disregard for fuel efficiency - spirited driving, plenty of redlines, often well above 4k rpm in 6th, if you catch my meaning. 
I do have a MM tune and BHR Ignition however.

I resisted posting in this thread for days, but I cannot resist anymore.
First thing is, to the author of this thread, relax a little-being sensitive doesn't suit anyone in this forum. You jumped on here and one of your first posts is complaining about your mileage and has been previously been pointed out you didn't know how to divide miles by gallons pumped. You have to expect to take some friendly abuse for that.
Also, pointing how that your soon-to-be husband is an eco-freak and you told him what's what is going to bring out the testosterone of most guys on here. Implying your man is your b***h is not becoming at all.
And by the way, when did it become so difficult to calculate mileage? there is a little button that resets your trip odometer. You should be able to figure it out from there. If you can't, manybe get a high school teacher involved.
Another thing, never trust everything you read on a CarFax report.
I guess my suggestion, lighten up and take the advice of people who have owned their 8s longer than a week and have suffered the pain so you don't have to.
Oh, and where are those pics....until we see them , I am guessing you are a dude.

Never trust Carfax? Sure, it can't show everything, but I would never buy a used car without one. A Carfax kept my brother from buying a car that he thought was a steal. It was a 07 Mazda 3 i believe that turned out to be a fleet/rental car and had been in 3 car accidents. Go ahead and buy a car without one, and let me know when you go to register it to find out it has a salvage title, then take it to a mechanic to later find out it has flood damage, multiple accidents, extensive repair history.
