The wife and I just came back from Mont Tremblant Quebec, which was about a six hour drive. I was curious about my mileage so I kept track of my first tank comning home.

It worked out to 23 mpg. This was all highway cruising in 6th with 3.55's

I was very pleased:2tu:

We need to send this to all tree huggers.:)
That's good mileage and I have to ask....how much is gasoline right now for you?

Just back from a 800 mile drive [second this month] - 21-22mpg - average speed 80 - 3.55's here too.

Can only manage 9 in the city though.

I usually keep track of my mileage. I thought I messed up when I calculated 21.3 mpg this weekend driving from NH to ME (75-80 in 6th). I guess not.

I was paying $1.50 for the good stuff (94) in Quebec. I think 1 US gallon = 4 litres which would make it $6.00 per US gallon.

Ouch it sounds bad when you actually say it...lol

I bought mine in California and drove home to Washington the next day. My best was from **** CA all the way through Oregon to Vancouver WA in one tank. It came out to just over 26 mpg. Compared to my other vehicles (Lightning & Wrangler), this makes the Viper my economy car.

I got 20mpg/us when I drove my car back from Ohio (4,000mi.). $1.57 L. 3.07 gears and superchargered. speed 50-80mph seems irrelevant (no difference in mileage).

Stealth R/T TT (500hp)gets 29mpg

440 Duster gets 14-15mpg

91 Ford F150 gets 16-17mpg

Ford Escape V6 gets 18-19mpg

Does it even matter?

Not really but it makes me feel better when someone else says they are paying about $6.00 a gallon up north. Not warm and fuzzy, just a bit better.;)

Perhaps it will even convince some Viper owners that VOI is not out of reach if they drive their Vipers to attend.

Then you should feel REALLY GREAT because Premium is an extra $0.20 per liter so where we drill gas and oil we're paying nearly $7.00 a gal for Viper gas. Alberta's about $0.13 liter cheaper because they have less Provincial Taxes.

And I'm going. The tax and fuel cost is really starting to hurt my standard of living however.

At least once you get to the lower 48 that will save a few $$ on gas for you.:)
The states should be a good deal for you now with the dollar the way it is.
