Average MPG 18.66 w/4417 miles

That includes 3 days autocross, 2000 miles in two days freeway driving, two runs up to 141MPH and the rest half city and half freeway.

Not bad at all IMHO.

Over 3700 miles and average of 18.2 mpg. This includes 1 autox and 2 track days. Without the track days, which was around 9 mpg, it would have been 19.1 mpg. Currently using 93 octane.

1378 miles, and I've averaged 18.4 over the last 5.5 tanks. Low was 17.9, high was 19.8. Just a hoot to zoom around! What FUN!

Did you guys notice your MPG increase steadily as you racked up miles, or was there a noticeable jump at some point? I'm currently getting around 17 MPG, mostly around town driving with and without A/C (plus I tend to be a little rev-happy ) at just over 1400 miles.
