where were those 400 miles? open road cruising or around town/short trips? you'll get better mileage on long open-road trips over short stop and go trips. keep the RPMs up and enjoy the car. slow and steady is not the way to go in this one...

I have put almost 5k on mine since Jan. Some short spirited and two 7 hour trips with wife and mileage is about the same both ways. The long easy drives are around 19-20 and other times 17-18. Computer over all says about 18.
