14 MPG! You should take it to the dealer and have it checked out. Are You using premium in it?

Also, thanks everyone, but it is interesting that the 2.7L seems to get better mileage than the 2.5L. You would think the 2.5L would get better mileage. Also, I am working a DYI fix for the stereo buttons, I will let you know when I figure it out. I may just see if I can buy a new face though.

Lightbulb On the light side of the issue

Save gas roller skate. Gee this is like getting a boat and worrying how much fuel does it burn in an hour. Mpg is not a deciding factor in the buying criteria for these type of cars it's all about speed and handling.Stop worrying about the gas and enjoy the car that is why you bought it in the first place.

I reset the computer calculator for the day.

Got...


9 mpg.


Of course, this was at the DE at TWS.

A whole tank of gas in five sessions.

Ouch.

I had to buy $4/gal at the track just to get to the nearest station.

Otherwise, it pretty much stinks -- about 20 mpg. I told Randall it
probably is because of that durn sport exhaust +right foot.

Best,
