[s-cars] Extremely Good Gas Mileage

[chris chambers]

The higher gas mileage comes when you are on a long trip, and at
cruising speed for long periods of time. With this type of driving you
aren't hard into boost using alot more fuel.

Just cruising on the highway I have calculated 28, and 30 mpg.
Now if I get into traffic and do alot of slowing down and speeding up,
well then my fuel consumption increases to ~25 mpg. Aroudn the city I'm
closer to 20-22 mpg.
