Well, i was a bit heavy on the throttle when powering into the freeway 3 times, smoked a few hondas on the street after revving at me, wat else... oh, i out ran some rubber necks that followed me every lane i took, some would even keep pace with me side by side. 15.714 to fill up full. But im really hoping its just a break in thing. Cuz man, my 4runner has some meaty tires, a brushgaurd and a thirsty 3.4l, with a 16' long trailer strapped to its ass yet it takes 3/4 tanks of gas a trip from Modesto to: Hayward, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Concord, Richmond back to San Leandro, drop a 481lb engine in the trailer and back to Modesto. Fillup 3/4 tank was 12.something gallons.
To use 19 gallons, the truck would have run out of gas. How many gallons did it take to refill the tank and that it really was topped out when you started out. Assuming you refilled when the light came on and there were 3 gallons left the mileage (248/16) would be 15.5. Be sure it is topped off and drive around again. Do you have a roof rack?

You can probably expect 15-16 mpg once you get used to it and don't power it around or speed as much. I would think that the typical 75 mph+ freway ride should get you about 18 mpg.
this is what the nissan VQ-40 gets. I did get 20.5 mpg once and I will stress that that was on out of state gasoline.
we definitely get the short end of the stick, btu wise, in CA. reformulated gas sucks.
Well, forgot to mention, it has the scary from the inside roofrack that makes TONS of wind noise, and my FJ shine its refill light right when i drove up my driveway. Topped it off, even squeezed some in there and ended up getting like 6ounces on the paint, but caught it b4 it hit the black cladding....Heres another thing to think about, gas + cladding?!
