Your mileage will vary...
freeway...21 to 24 mpg;best was 26
shorter stuff/backroads...18/19 mpg
at the track...<10 mpg
I avoid driving this car unless it's enough to get it fully warmed up.Short trips and stop/go driving will not get any fuel
economy rewards.
One stomp on the loud pedal,however,and any mileage issues are left far behind.

I've been doing more city type driving also.
Let's see what happens as it starts to cool off...
I see you might be having tranny problems...I wonder how much power the tranny can suck up ?

Hey, my mpg is way down also...I'm thinking it's because it has been 95+ degrees and I've had the AC running non-stop.
