I hate that they report fuel efficiencies in miles per gallon, but they report tank capacity in litres

ok, so at the 18 city/26 highway fuel mileages, we get the following gas ranges...

City = 288 miles
Highway = 364 miles

Not bad at all... That's about what I get with my present car.

They got the 18/26 number without boost right? Those milage numbers are better than what I expected from this car. When I can get to Vegas in one tank of gas, I'm happy

They should have standards fo people who buy muscle cars. A test if you will. No teeny-boppers, must bench press minimum 225, must make at least $50K a year and if you're living with mom and dad you can't have one. This is a nice car whose heritage will unfortunately be tainted by little boy racer types.

I agree, but then again, Initial D lives with his parents too. =)

Guess i failed most of the test ( 23 yrs old, bench < 225, make < 50K ( gov't work doesn't pay so well when you first start), and i live with my parents to keep costs down for my EVO)........but i'm still getting one.....

P.S. I won't ruin the heritage, i have to much respect for the car!!!
