Re: [ST] Re: Gas mileage?

I get about 150 miles before the light comes on around the city and about
200-230 miles on the highway. Best economy was 65 mpg and worst was about 35
mpg but that was thrashing around a race track. She spent most of the time
at 7000rpm plus, was great fun though and well worth the fuel money :-)
