    Alright guys I haven't seen a good recent fuel mileage thread here lately so fess up, how's your fuel mileage?

    I'm most interested in the GT 5-speed but go ahead and post whatever ya got.

    I've seen some discouraging figures and I want to know if anyone is getting what the sticker on the window claims!

    Made to run hard

    Auto Trans 13 on the first tank and 14 and climbing on the second tank. I only have about 287 miles in 2-weeks.

    I took it out last night and drove it a little harder on the interstate - a few WOTs up to 90+ and down again a few times. Funny thing was the harder I drove it the more the mileage per gallon improved.

    I guess they were just made to run hard
