yeah i haven't calculated mine yet, but i know its crappy..for example, from here (Claremont new hampshire) to middletown, ct is about 146 miles, and I use my cruise control at about 70-75 99%( I've tried other speeds, but these seem to be better) of the way and the rest of the time maintaining the speed (for those of you who live in ct/mass know the traffic on 91) with my foot. and i usually loose almost 1/2 tank..no lights..new k&n air filter, new plugs and wires, no lights other than low coolant and abs/trac off..just broke 96.6k and its a 3400..oh and me and my girlfriend were the only ones in the car with maybe 30 lbs of luggage.

meanwhile...my dad's wifes 04 cts v6 can go from middletown ct to staten island new york at about 80 the whole way, no cruise, and a FULL car load and the needle doesn't move (this is probably about a 150mile or so trip)..and not to mention its just a bigger car and i believe the mileage is pretty low i think at about 50k or less....i don't get it.....
