Figure I have a hopeless cause either way , with the one in office or the one so recently departed, but thought I better go after both, as I just gave the Guvmint $1300 in Gas Guzzler Taxes - because my stinkin new GT 350 won't get over 21 mpg on the Highway! Well, Guvmint folks, why in the Hell am I getting 21.5 average then? I want my money back and I want a nice little letter of apology for another phony Guvmint Regulashun !
Okay, I know it is a lost cause, and no, I did not buy this car for gas mileage , but this is the most ridiculous example of a fee when not necessary that I have seen! Got 24.8 on the Highway the other day, pissed me off it was so high with no break in miles, that I started heel and toeing into corners , getting on it a bit more aggressively ( while still respecting the break in procedure) , and dang it finally dropped to 21.5. First tank I averaged over 20 mpg and that was a lot of town driving. I would baby my 2013 Boss and I could barely get to 20 mpg on the road if I just French kissed the accelerator pedal. The first Boss ( 2012 ) would get 22 on a long cruise ( all Highway), every time, and that was with just a pat on the butt.
Cracking up, as never bought this car for gas mileage , but am shocked it has been so good, and really just wondering if folks are seeing much better than advertised with their GT 350s? I expect to get 5-6 mpg on the track, but it is so good I think I could Hyper Mile the beeatch and get close to 30mpg. Back to work , just a simple question, but damn if I did not write another novella .
