So I just hit 315 miles and the light came on, so I filled 'er up. I managed to get 26.5 MPG on the first tank of gas ever through the car. From my understanding, engines typically pick up 10-20% better mileage as they break-in and near 10,000 miles, and at least the first two tanks are notoriously poor MPG.
So, needless to say I am very pleased with 26.5 MPG for a few reasons...one being I literally did about 80% city driving on that tank, it was the first time I've driven a stick of any kind in years, and the first stick I've ever owned.... so I expect as I learn to be more efficient, and the engine breaks in I should break into the 30MPG+ club! Woohoo! [
