Well, yeah nobody bought this car for the MPG. Yet it still crosses my mind nowadays considering gas prices. I'll be like, "Since, I'm not in the mood for having fun at the moment, lets try a different way of having fun. Seeing if I can maximize my gas efficiency."

That's good to hear. 26-28 is MAX what I can get out of my SRT it seems.

How often are you filling up?

Wow twice. I've never seen this myself, but I do not blame the car. Nice to know it could do what the sticker said at time of purchase.

Vacation from Des Moines, IA to Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC, Wilmington, NC, and some time in Columbus, OH and back to DSM. Total mileage 2,950 and averaged 27.1 mpg for the total trip. The car was fully loaded with suitcases and passenger. Lots of driving during the two weeks. I was impressed with the performance and gas mileage. I only take vacations when the gas prices approach or exceed $4/gal.!

I drive 60-80 miles everyday. I get about 500-550miles on each tank..
So I find myself filling up every week. Sometimes ill just throw $20 in and fill it up a couple days after that with another $20 and so on...

Right now I am getting 19mpg in the city and I can 29mpg on the highway if i keep it ~75mph.

Funny, I do not get that kind of mileage when I drive 75 around town.

yesterday the low fuel warning came on so i filled it up for $75 but that didn't faze me since, this was like the 3rd fill up for this car for this year. Definitely not a daily driver :-)

25 average, but my daily drive is

1. <0.5 mile to highway
2. 33 miles at 70 mph
3. <0.5 mile to work

If I play around with my gas mileagometer while on the highway, it seems to be close to:

1. 60 mph: 32 mpg
2. 70 mph: 29 mpg

Not bad!
