'06 Coppers S purchased new here. Approx. average spirited driven mileage is
probably 22-24 around town and 28-30 highway, but honestly I hardly ever
check. Trip computer usually reads in the neighborhood of 25 give or take.
80,000 on the clock and only been in for periodic dealer recommended services
and 15,000 mile oil changes. Premium fuel exclusively.

hope Frankie and Phil are not reading this, but I got upwards of 42 mpg on the
way to Wisconsin when we were traveling about 60ish. That dropped to 34 when I
was trying to catch up after getting a fan belt. And that is all with the air
on.
