93,000 miles and I have always gotten terrific gas mileage without sacrificing performance. |

This was the biggest plus-highway mileage, and I drive a lot of highway miles. Nice low RPMs @ 70-80 mph. |

I regularly get 25 mpg with some highway driving - not bad for 260 horsepower. City driving and winter does hurt the mileage, though - it can dip under 20. |

Fantastic on a 5-speed auto. But it does require Premium fuel. |
