What do you do, get out and push?

Nope . . . . I just never let the truth get in the way of a good story
. I'd be lyin' if I said it was fun getting that kind of mileage. Actually, it was an experiment on one tank of gas. I drove with every trick in the book trying to squeeze every last drop out of her.
Although I didn't over inflate the tires I did . . . skip shift, short shift, put it in neutral on down hills, draft semi trucks and drive like there was an egg under the pedal.

I'm just curious . . . . for those of you with the IUP/Message Center . . . . . can anyone with a GT beat that?

I only got that reading once...on the night I picked up the car. Ever since then I get between 160 and 180 miles to empty when I fill up...sometimes less then that

On my trip to Hershey, PA when I filled up it told me 373. It's usually around 340ish. I'll go about 270-300 between fillups.
I always try to be the lead car at a stoplight too... So I'm not being conservative. Just a lot of driving w/out stopping. Once I take her to the track those numbers should drop off.
