MikeyG is right on the nose, dudes; I average 19-21 in the city, & about 26-27, highway. Having a powerful engine takes its toll on economy! No regrets,
though, the t-h-r-i-l-l-s fully compensate for the relatively low MPG!!!

I calculate my actual MPG at each fill-up. It is always almost dead-on with the instrument displayed calculation.

Um, you guys do know that when the light comes on (low gas light), that doesn't necessarily mean you're completely empty, right? You can still go about 50+ miles, which is another 3 gallons. So when you calculate your mpg, you have to divide the number of miles traveled since the last fill up by the number of gallons you just filled it with.
