Maybe someone else put a little gas or something else into your tank hahaha.... Any one possibly had your keys?

Otherwise, I'd suspect you either drove mostly highway or the gas pump faulty. Hard to get even 20 mpg not to mention 24mpg on a 360.

nicolasmora is infamous around these parts
Every single time that I fill up my Cayenne with 22-23 gallons of gas the marker to empty marks 450 ish. I have never ever done more than 350 miles to a tank.

NO not very likely.

I am lucky to see 20 at 70 on the freeway.

I doubt you are really seeing 24 mpg. If you have 93 octane gas it is remotely possible however

Sometime ago a friend bought a Fiat and raved about the fuel mileage. So when he was unaware we'd add a gallon or so of gas w/o him knowing.

It went on for a while until he realized that 50 mpg was not possible.

It was funny, though.

Maybe someone is doing the same to you!!!

Failed to read your post correctly and made the assumption that it had a marker to empty.

No need to make the smartass remark about the difference in cars.

I think this is a bit beyond amazing! Maybe it's the switch to Redline oils that made the difference!

What size tires do you have?

Is your gas 93 octane?

I just don't see how it's possible since even Ferrari showed these on the window sticker as 18 mpg hwy!

Maybe you station has trick pumps! Happened here in Calif. Pump showed certrain gallonage but in fact it was about 15% less actual gas.

I agree with this. Over reaction.

I want some of what you are smoking!!!

There is no way in low gears you are getting 24 mpg! No way!

Your tires are OEM so you are ok there, but low gears, city driving, 24 mpg! Are the floods in Iowa affecting you?

You are off some where. 93 octane will give a boost but not what you are experiencing.

Your mileage indicator could be in error as well! 360's run about 5 mph off and that will affect miles traved as indicated as well.
