ok gang. first off

I got my 03' Black Spec-Vizzle! wahoo! man i love it!

alright here goes.

Spec-v supposedly gets about 26 street miles to the gallon right? and 29 higway. The Tank holds about 13.2 gallons. Now with these numbers i should be getting at least 300 miles a tank right? ok ok let's say i drive bad and blah i should still get at least 250 miles to the gallon no problem right? Well my peak has been about 220. I went all the way until my gas light came on and that was on the highway! Anyone else having this problem? or is it just me? Lemme know! Thanks!

I have gotten slightly over 30 mpg one time. All highway miles.

I usually get about 25 mph. I got under 20 mpg the first tank after I fealt I had properly broken in the car.

you will see your milage improve a bit after you get it broken in. But, mostly, you milage depends on your driving habits.

I average 25 mpg. I check nearly every fillup. I got 28 once, but was careful not to floor it at all during that tank.

My lowest was 23, and I was flooring it during that time.
