I took the S on a road trip this weekend, and it did pretty well.

I rolled over 44,444 miles on the trip, and I was able to fit in a little bit of twisty time!

Uh, hell no. I typically get about 225-250 per tank. Never more than that. Mayby those light wheels improve fuel economy

I seriously can feel a difference over the stock wheels. I averaged about 28.5 mpg for that tank.

I think I've managed 320-330 out of a tank, but it was all highway driving, averaging maybe 70-75mph. In terms of MPG, the most I've seen is 32ish.

Isnt reducing unsprung weight awesome. . .I need to save up and get some lighter wheels.

The first week I had the car I drove to Florida very very very conservatively and the car was stock. I saw 330 miles, but I was running on fumes. Thank God I found a gas station. I have no photographical proof though.

My best in the AP2 is 337 miles, also running on fumes.
On the AP1, 317 miles best I've ever done on a tank.

Last six months AP1 has gotten 25.9 mpg
Last six months AP2 has gotten .... wait for it... 26.0 mpg

342 miles to the tank was the best I could do when I went on a roadtrip to NC.

I have hit 332. But I was worried. The gas light had been on for quite a while.

I used 44k and went from 250-260 miles per tank (normal driving) to a 280 miles, tank after tank.

fyi: I have 120,000 miles on my car
