Yeah, and the kid up the road is NOT getting 20-25 mpg either.  I used to
have friends with 'Cudas and they were very familiar with single digit mpg
calculations. Actually, that's a calculation you might do once because
after you know how low it is, what's the point.  Pay to play...

Of course, it really depends on how hard you drive it.  You just have to
have the will-power to resist the temptation. I'm sure if you took it
easy...  ;-)
