The guys on this forum are anything but boring...I find value in most posts...I believe someone should start a miles per gallon threat...
Best I did was going down to Florida and back and got 21- 21.5 mpg going 75 mph on a vantage sports Package ASM ...of course using Cruise control until challenged which was often...then gas miles dropped on next fill. Lol
Be safe

There was an article a year or so ago that said the ONLY car that got better than the window sticker mileage in real world driving was the Aston Martin V8 Vantage - my experiences also confirmed that... now that I have a V12S, all that goes out the window - the mileage pretty much sucks because you want to hear the thing, and it goes through gas as if the tank leaked. The V8's at least had reasonable mileage when you hammered on them.

Anybody put the mpg mode in the data window and watch it? I've seen 4mpg and 98mpg. I'd do it more often but I need that window to display the MPH or I'd never know how fast I was going!

I get pretty much exactly what the sticker says, although my city mileage is much worse (like 8-10mpg) due to living in a congested mess
