I get 16 miles per gallon with my supercharged G with my foot in it. Highway cruising I can get 23ish. Still I average about 250 a tank with 15 gallon fill up.

Oh, I forgot, its all about clean air. Uh, right.
Man, I'm here in washington and I just hit 298 on a full tank (coupe). My milage sucks for some reason...

I am consistently getting 18-20 mpg in my '05, city/some freeway driving, did about the same with my '04 as well. I think you may have figured wrong IMO.

Case and point. I am getting better gas mileage in my new Charger SRT8 (6.1 liter, 425 hp) than I get with the G !!! I'm not kidding.
If you haven't been to any of the track experiences yet you MUST go. I've been to 2 already and it's definitely the best money I've ever spent. Where else can you go and have Skip Barber drivers teach you how to drive, and you get to beat the crap out of all the SRT cars. Of course the best is the Viper.

Droool....

BTW - Sorry about the thread jack, back to mpg talk.

I get about 16-17mpg now...Before I started my basic mods, I was consistently getting about 19-21mpg with a good mixture of street/highway. Now my ear keeps telling my foot, "Need More Gasssss!!" Damn coupe middy! Love that sound compared to stock...and for now, its worth every single ounce of the $3.49 per gallon.

15.5 X 20 = 310. How are you measuring?

I got about 12.5 mpg on my last tank, which took about 6 weeks between fillups.

Of course, this is my F150

My G35 gets between 16 and 17 in town, and 22 and 25 on the highway (normally driving the speed limit of 75, I'm not going to be hated by everyone else by driving 55 to save gas).

LMAO, that even sounds bad for an F150, what year. engine is it? I had a '97 F150 Lariat, 4.6, AT, and I got around 15-16 in town. Damn that was a nice truck.........

I had my G35 Sedan MT6 for little over 3 years and always averaged 19 MPG (mostly around town driving). On highway trips I get around 25 MPG

I can't wait. I have the list of dates and locations, and I'm just trying to find a weekend that works. They just opened up a few new locations in Aug and Sept., so that's what it will probably be, due to a very tight summer calendar......Next to the Viper, I'm looking forward to the AWD Jeep.

Mopar never ceases to amaze me. Not only do they have their own mods for their cars, but they pay for you to go beat the **** out of their cars. Gotta love it.......Not sure whether you know this or not, but all the cars used in track experiences are destroyed, instead of sold at auction. So there is a significant cost involved......

I would be more than willing to take a beat to crap Viper or Crossfire. BTW - the crossfire is just driving the G, same handling, breaking and acceleration characteristics.

Did you sell it around January 2002? Was it white? If so, it is mine now I get around 18 on the highway, and 15.2 overall.

The 12.5 was about the worst I've had for in town driving, but for me it is mostly short trips. 4 miles to work. I only average 4K/year, so I'll decide to just drive it to work for a week, like all last week.

HaHa, no, I sold it in April 2000 and got a Mustang GT vert, it was Toreador Red, more maroon looking.

I just filled up today with 17.7 gallons at 260.1 Miles, thats about 14.6 MPG. This is the average i've been getting for the past year and a half, its pure crap. I drive 80% City and the rest highway both with traffic, but still my friend just bought a 350z.. getting 350 to the tank..u know im pissed, next oil change the dealer is going to get it from me because without highway i get like 12 mpg.

The even sadder part is i tried babying the car and it made like a what.. 15-20 mile difference? BS..
