Usual driving, mostly highway. Shell v-power 93. Just thought it a bit higher than average.

I do the 200 ish mile trip to the track on 3/4 of a tank or so, if there is not too much stop and go

I also get 19+ mpg every tank, unless I am at the track, and it is used pretty much exclusively for running through the hills at boost when not on the track

This may not be relevant though since mine is a IX and is stock

I need to fill up to check mine. I am at 310 miles and the light hasn't come on yet, most of that cruising at about 75. I'm impressed!
