Default Pretty impressed

This was after a long trip home tonight, on my 08 460. Not bad for a v8 with so much power. <br >

My coworker was in disbelief when I told him my 460 read 29.1 after my 5 hour trip through Eastern WA, including goign through the mountain passes. Excellent car for long trips! My back never got uncomfortable either.

Mine gets around 15MPG when averaging around 15MPH commuting during peak hour.

Honestly I think I could have got higher if the speed limit was lower, I think it peaks around the 50-60 mph range, but the highway was 70, I also get off work late at about 230 am so it's all no traffic highway coasting on my way home. If I'm just in the city I'm lucky to get 17
