Again I take the mileage it says I went divided by the gallons I just put in = Gas Mileage. I went 400 miles on one tank and still had 1.4 gallons left. Went from Phoenix to Lake Havasu and back on one tank. How about I tell you how many miles I get when I go from Phoenix, to Lake Havasu, to Las Vegas. I bet I can make it to Vegas on One tank. I will let you know in a week since I leave tomorrow night.

30 is certainly doable if you go easy on the throttle.

I did a test over the last two weeks. The first week full tank and my regular commute to work and back, going very easy on the throttle I only used a quarter of a tank.

2nd week full tank and I nailed the throttle every possible opportunity I could, once actually accidentally cutting off an LAPD cruiser, no ticket luckily. In one week I was below half a tank.

You can get good economy with this car and if you're into the turbo all the time you can really chew up gas.

This is close to what I get, mixture of city/ freeway driving. My average mpgs are between 20 and 22mpg when dividing miles driven since last fill up by gallons filled.
