Yeah......I guess you give up some fuel for the styling. There was an article about a guy in a gumball rally across the US and he boasted 72 mi. per gallon on a GT. I´m sure it´s possible. My GT now has about 1070 mi. on it. I assume it´s past the break in period now and I´m going to start checking the fuel economy. Mine is a commuter machine about 50% of the time. The commute is 30 mi and seeing that my other ride is a V-8 pick up win when I ride my scoot. Any one know where I can get a high performance exhaust for the GT other than PM Tuning......a liitle too pricey for me.
