Last weekend my '06 got approx. 6 MPG while cruising the track!
How far can you cruise on a full tank?

Thanks all for the vast amount of replies. From what all said I've learned a few things, do not trust the gauge and when your foot gets heavy and the smile goes from ear to ear its probly just safer to stop and fill up or top off just to get the attention at the gas stations.
Also about the coments about Bernie and Route 6 I met with him to look at the car (he made a special trip to the shop on the weekend to let me drool over it and even took me for a ride. While on that ride he showed me why 12 year old tires are unsafe, any gas at low speeds and the tires come loose. Ever since then he's been nothing but helpful and profesional and I would recomend him to anyone. After I get the car ill post about the entire experience and how the car turned out). So with that said I'm not worried just exited since I have to wait 20 days for the headers to be made and then coated then sent to Bernie for him to install. The car is beutiful and super clean with no traces of 19000 miles. As soon as I pick up the car ill join the great all mighty vca and ill be at every meet and cruise that is possible. I bought the car to drive and plan on doing a lot of it, in fact I'm kind of jelous of you guys that bought your cars so far away and had that long first drive home. An hour and a half from BJ Motors to my house just doesn't seem long enough. Ill try to pm the guys that asked me for my email as soon as I get to a computer (using the sidekick 3 for the moment). Just thanks again and today I ordered more parts, mgw gripper shift knob and the blue viper logo gas cap.

I use to get around 24-26 when it was stock, but I have 3.55 gears now and I bet I get around 18 now but driving around the street is a blast.

I got better mileage than my dad's minivan when we drove from Atlanta to Little Rock. I have stock gears, and after driving most of the way between 75-80 I got around 26 mpg.
If you don't try to trim your toenails on the radiator fan you'll get decent mileage.
...another thing...get a Valentine One radar detector if you don't have one already have one. They offer a refurbished model that is a little cheaper, but it comes with the same warranty as a new one.

21 on the road before the ROE...now I get about 14 on the highway and 10 around the city. Boost equals about 200 more CID so there goes the farm...
