You should have purchased the diesel. I don't have to watch the way I drive and I get pretty decent mileage...

I wouldn't even attempt this experiment. I would fail miserably after the first mile. Driving this beast like a priest is the equivalent of hell.

As I said in a previous post, it is boring as hell, and I really did not enjoy it. I have been driving it normally for this tank and am so much happier when I am in it. I can actually here the exhaust note!
I just wanted to see what the actual difference in Mileage would be, not that I bought this for good mileage. It is showing up to be a difference that in your daily driving cause you to think, especially as premium is nearing $3 per gallon. I figure I will juice a project a for a little extra coin and cover my gas expenditure sthat way right?

I reset my consumption before I hit the road for my drive to CT for the meet. On the first leg of the trip up the Garden State Parkway, traffic was fairly light and I was able to maintain 75 mph and achieve 18.8 mpg. Traffic conditions changed once I crossed into NY.

On the way home I had a wide open road but maintaining one speed is boring. I jumped on her and had some fun, having to dodge the damn left lane hoggers and those that feel the need to block the roadway by driving steering wheel to steering wheel 80 or so all the way home. An hour and 10 minutes including a bathroom and coffee stop, I managed to average 17 for the trip. Not bad considering my norm is 13.5

I'm done with my experiment
