Yea the most disheartening thing is when every time u start ur car after a trip u see the bar in gas gauge decrease everytime. It almost makes u wanna go slower to increase the gas mileage. Nonetheless, i only fill it up once a week, which isn't half bad.

The new engine for the '08 coupe is suppose to have a better fuel management system. Blah, i say everyone forget about the 298 horses under the engine, and drive everywhere going 40mph and never letting ur RPM go above 3...u'll all have great gas mileage then.....pause......pause.....

...hahahahahahahahahaha, sorry i just had to say it.

Happy New Year ppl!

I usually get 14 or 15, I think the highest I have gotten was 16, that was a boring couple of days.

Sorry to hear that y'all are getting low gas mileage. I get about 23-24 mpg. I live in the DC metro area, which equates to a good mix of highway, traffic, and local street travel. I am usually conservative about my driving, but have to open her up at least a few times a day.
