I was surprised to get 32MPG. Love this car.

I actually saw you pull out of the side street from Heuberger as we were pulling in. Didn't get a chance to make the run of Pike's Peak, but saw plenty of other things. Gotta save something for the next trip anyways.
After 1200 miles, with 400 miles of total hoonage through the mountains at 30-90mph and 4000-7000rpm, and another 800 miles of 80-85mph highway cruises, I averaged 33.2mpg for the trip. Mind-blowing mileage considering how I was driving -- that's fully double what my GTO averages (granted, it more than double the whp), and it'd probably have gotten single digits through the mountains.
