question for x50 owners
How many MPG's are you getting? Do I have a lead foot, or is my car computer correct in telling me that I get 13.3MPG? Man that sucks.
Oh, and I just saw a gas station in L.A. at $3.03 a gallon..the 76 on little santa monica in beverly hills

That seems low. I have a friend who has an EVO Stage 2 modified Turbo (more power than X50) and he gets 15-17 in town with a heavy foot.

I'd kill to get 13 mpg. I drive fairly aggressive, but I'm getting around 10+
