People, STOP judging mpg by how many miles you do on a tank of gas. The only time you're allowed to come on here and complain about excessive fuel consumption is if you calculate it by filling the tank up and calculating the miles driven devided by gallons filled up the next time you're at the pump. Our cars have about 5 gallon reserve. I drove the whole day with the low fuel light on and at the end of the day she still only took in 16 gallons. Learn to calculate mpg than worry. Until then enjoy the ride.

we have 18 gallon who said we have a 5 gallon reserve. Share some of the crack your smoking j/k. I drove mine once till the nav had ** miles left till empty, and the car started studdering and I could here it pinging. I filled it up and it was 17.89 gallons. The light comes on when you have 1.5-2 gallons to give you a chance. I agree with you on the complaining. There are too many variables. Mods, Lead foot, accelration, AT or MT shift points on what determines gas mileage. either tune your car if you have mods, get it checked, do a fuel system flush, clean your air filter, or sell the cars people.

I have Navi too. But I rarely reset it, so I'm looking at a long time average of 19mpg, which is probably off by +/-1 .

Who cares? Man up and pay your gas bill and stop whining.

I had a C5 vette and on the hwy I got almost 30mpg. But what fun is that? I had a lot more fun zipping around through the revs than cruising at 70mph in 6th. And not once did I complain about refilling every 2-3 days.

If you want to actually USE the 300hp you will burn gas, plain and simple.

hey at least some of u guys got the '05 or '06 with the new engines that are suppose to help with the gas mileage, i'm stuck driving the '03 with worse gas mileage. Driving highway is not a problem, but i am def NOT getting 19 in the city.

I don't get it, I manage to get 27 miles per gallon and I have done the calculation both by my Navi and by running it empty (my fault). The fastest I can go is 60mph to work as I drive through wine country...140 miles a day and mine is TT'd
