Dangit, I'm only getting like 210 miles on a fillup...What's up with that?
there are alot of factors which determine gas mileage, not just the type of car it is.

You have to look at driving style, transmission, tune of engine, climate, quality of gas, where you do most of your driving (ie highway or city).

I have a T-5 and do atleast half of my miles (if not more) on the highway. These 2 contribute to a little better mileage. But my heavy foot, the 3.73's, and the cam tend to hinder it somewhat
