I believe it's a concept that states that engine size and thrill factor is inversely proportional gas mileage. Explains all the dull stares when I pass hybrid toyotas.

The car does get better mpg when going fast. Try going 5 to 10 mph and reset the computer. It is horrible mpg. Either way calculating it at each fill is more accurate.

I had a V8 pickup try to smoke me at a light near my house. Unfortunately, I had to turn about 10 feet after the light. Too bad. Would have been fun.

After 2100 miles, I'm hitting a solid 17-18 in town with some antics every now and again. Took a road trip last weekend, and ended up averaging 23-24 on the highway. Not too bad considering the fun factor.

Whenever I bring this car out I got right foot all up in it. I don't care, even at $7.07 a gallon.

After proving I could get 28+ MPG freeway and 20+ city, that was enough "economy driving", and I decided not to worry about the mileage, except as an indication of how much fun I am having... Lower mileage = more fun.

I would like a BIGGER TANK, though... seems to run dry way too quickly!!
