Mileage Problem.
 
Is any one else not getting the 18 MPG in the city? I am getting about 13 MPG in the city and 20 on the Highway.

GT package here, 18.3 MPG at 780 miles, 93 octane, about a 60/40 mixture of 70MPH highway and stop-and-go city traffic. Routinely taken above 6000 RPM. Mileage improving with every tankful. This time I tried 89 just as an experiment. I am expecting to see above 20 down the road.

4th tank, 40% city 60%hgy=18.2 mpg (my hgy speeds avg 80 mph)

i too feel mpg is going up a little,i drive 600 miles a week and now have close to 2000 miles.exhaust note seems to be getting deeper everyday,power also seems better every day also.

Mileage woes...
 
1000 miles so far. Best tank was 16. Worst was 14. I am dissapointed with the MPG and I hope my dealer will help. My 1st check-up is next week.

I am going to keep my car. Hopefully I can use the $500 for gas.
