It seems my car gets better gas mileage cruising at 80mph than say 55/60mph...at least that's what my readout says....everytime, I cruise at around 80mph+ my DTE goes up.....

This weekend I made two late night runs to Marina Del Rey, and found that my car maxes out at 25.8 mpg at 76 mph. Any more it goes down, any less it goes down. This was all done with the top down, of course.

just gun it really hard every time you drive it
its like 10 dollar difference and i'd happily pay that to not get ****-blocked by this notion of gas milage...
so you know right now
im pushing 5000rpm even on normal school commutes
f*ck that i bought this car for 2 simple reasons - to drive and have loads of raw fun not having to worry about gas if i drive a sportscar
man... come on!
like on the high way tell me 4th gear is not ridiculously exciting to accerlate in
