I get about 19 mpg on 80% highway/20% city. I do drive at 80-85 mph on the highway and nail it occasionally when leaving the toll booth. I didn't buy the car for gas mileage though. The car sounds too good at WOT for me to baby her.

Maybe we could use a few more options on the poll above 17 MPG, and maybe also distinguish V6's from GT's??? Consumer Reports recently reported the GT as getting 28 MPG on the highway for them. I thought it was a typo, but I also read another poster here that said they were also getting 28 HWY in a GT. My commute is about 98% highway so the fact the GT could get the same mileage as my current 4 banger would be pretty awesome!

Okay, For a couple of days now I'm driving like an old lady in the city and 70-80 mph on the highway (hope no cops are on the forum) and still getting 15-16 mpg on my 3rd tank of gas. Something is wrong. I thought it was just a case of lead foot. But, a couple of days slowing it down hasn't made a dent.
I've got to bring it back to the dealer for some minor scratches on the steering wheel that they promised to fix when I took delivery. I'll have it checked then. I just hope whatever it is they do to fix it doesn't affect the power - the car hauls serious booty!

A lot of cars actually produce more horsepower and run better with 10,000-20,000 miles on them than when they were brand new. So don't sweat it.
I hate that darn computer. You don't buy a sports car for fuel economy or long trips. So why do you need that? I would prefer a thermometer.
