You get great gas mileage keeping the revs low and driving smoothly (no herky jerky braking or throttle). I just spent the whole weekend driving it like uhh a Porsche. I'd say my gas mileage took a good 35% hit, at least. Keeping it above 3K requires a great deal more downshifting than I realized. Need to brush up on my heel and toe shifting! LOL
