First fill
I just reached 190km of driving distance, gas gauge was a tad above the 1/2 mark and I was 2 blocks from home, passing my favorite Shell station.
I stopped in and filled her up...
26.349 Liters, or
13.8 L/100km or
20.5 MPG (UK) or
17.1 MPG (US)
I like UK better... lol
This 190 km's represents a typical drive, about 80% highway, 20% city.
To be honest, I'm not disappointed, the engine has a long way to go before its broke in and I am sure the mileage will only get better once that happens.

Congrat! on your new 8. I checked out Gerry's car before he got a chance to drive it, somehow I'm not too attracted to the special edition or the facelifted model. However, I don't mind having the Blistein suspensions and Recaro seats. Don't get me wrong, I still like the 8 cos I own a 2007 CPW 8. Anyway, may be we'll meet up at autox, club meet or cruise night.
