hey MercuryMan,

So how many miles do you get on a full tank of gas?

I should be getting mine soon and want to know what I'm getting into.

Highway -- 18.6
City -- 15.5
As of today I've had my Nitro for 6 weeks and have driven 1790 miles. This is still a shock stepping up from a 30+ MPG Ford Escort ZX-2. I'm hoping that after I get about 3000 miles on it the mileage will go up but I doubt it. If anyone has any information regarding this myth I would love to hear from you.

So the EPA Estimates of 18 city / 23 hwy are an absolute joke?

Yeah your right...

They do their texts on a dyno....not real driving.

I've logged about 16.7 around town. Have the first road trip this week so I'll see what my SLT does on the highway.
