I average between 22/24 around town and managed 30 driving from Va Beach up to DC. Love this car, just wish I had a sixth gear.

Yeah I use to get about 30 at 80. Hopefully again after putting a desperately needed clutch in. Oh and add your location to your profile and you might just meet people from around there.
