I've been reading these posts on gas mileage. I get 350 to 400 on every tank of gas. I don't know if it's the location I'm in or what. But I think it gets much better gas than my 1994 Supra TT

I've got about 6k on my 05MT. Mileage got better by about 1-2mpg after about 2k on the engine. There's still a huge difference between short trip city (17-18), mixed city/short highway,(12-21) and long trips (26). I think all of us have figured out that the G doesn't like short trips. And that keeping your foot in it tends to suck the fuel

(This car reminds me of a lot of older cars with 4BBL carbs and sticky chokes. Hated those cold starts and short trips.)

It took about 8K for me to hit peak fuel economy.

Break in is is over as soon as the car leaves the dealership. Tire smoke and all.

+1000, I redlined OUT OF the dealership....after about 950 miles, I hop into my car one morning and I go to Post office (bout 5 mins away) and I drop off a package real quick and hop back in. I decide to open her up on the way back home, holy sh*t, It got hell more quicker. Im at 4K now...and this sh*t runs STRONG.
