I concer. When computer was cleared it started the display at 18 MPG. I am getting ~23 in mixed driving conditions (1998 SE Convertible). On Highway with new tank of gas DTE has displayed over 500 miles (>30MPG), but I have not actually driven far enought to see if that is accurate. But given that I do both highway and stop and go, I can see constant stop and go driving giving <20 MPG. keith "pablo" <pablo.at.simplynopsamre.dot.net> wrote in message news:Vx%Fb.1947$VA4.1761nopsamsvr29.news.prodigy.com... > > I think it's easy for the turbos to go under 20mpg given some heavy traffic > and some enjoyment of the turbo rush.
