Well...as long as you don't drive her like that ALL the time, I guess it's okay. I have my days where I drive her in C and cruise. Majority of the time though, I drive the snot out of her and she always loves it!

I have gotten 24MPG at an average consistent speed of 80MPH driving I-5. The speed limit is 75, so it is not so nerve racking.

Looks like you're averaging 57mph in 48 miles of driving, so 19-20mpg is just fine. I get 22mpg going 65-70mph over long stretches of highway.

Best i've gotten is 21.9 when I drove 175 miles up to Dallas a few weeks ago. Most of the time I get less than 15..or 10. I get too excited sometimes and my right foot gets stuck.
