have questions

Well I find it is a little worse on gas than my cavi (no kidding!), but I still get around 400KM to the tank. I haven't had a problem with it (only owned for 1.5 months now tho) and I absolutly love it.

1. how is it on gas.

3. how reliable is the car I want to use it as a daily driver(90mi round trip to work).
4.what dose everyone think about the car overall.

Thanks for your time.

1.) Pretty good, if you drive it like most of us, you'll get over 20. Now that it's warm I'm getting 25ish.
2.) 12 (11?) Gallon tank * 20+ mpg...
3.) Had one issue with it right away, there has since been a recall on it, and I understand all new ones, on the lot are to be serviced before sold. So that shouldn't be an issue anymore.
4.) I freakin love it... quick, torquey, great handling.

I use it for a daily driver too, about 60 miles roundtrip, through Chicago traffic everyday. There's also nothing like smoking someone in a Saturn...

Who Cares About Gas Mileage ... When You Get Behind The Wheel Of This Car It Won't Matter To You. It's My Daily Driver And My Favorite Car So Far.

I understand that its fun to drive,but I'm coming from a 05 subaru legacy gt that is modded alot.(297hp at wheels 0-60 4.8). So i'm more intrested in gas then speed. I'm only getting 17 freeway so I'm looking for something in the range of 25 plus. But I still want to have fun with a car,so thats why I'm looking at the redline.
THANKS

25 MPG is about the upper limit on the highway, around 20 is what I get on the streets. If you drive around 55 MPH (test speed for EPA) all day, maybe you can get higher mileage, but like I said before here, I don't know why anyone would buy a Red Line and drive 55 MPH all day on highways. That's like getting an SUV but never go off-roading with it. Wait a minute, not a good comparing example. But you get my drift.

What SHE said! and to add my 2 cents: No car will give you more grins for the buck!

I normally get 23.5 to 24.5 mpg with a mix of city and freeway driving. I took a road trip (1400 miles total) and average 28 mpg cruising at 95 mph. Actually got better mileage crusing at that speed then at 80 mph.

i just drove back from SC 2 days ago... there and back on 1 tank (about 320 miles). went to pick up a car for my fellow marine. he bought an 04 RX-8, it looks cleaner (sorta) than the RL.. but i left him in the dust the whole way back to Ga. we were averagin 'bout 110. he filled up b-4 we left, i was @ a lil over half a tank.
when we got back to base, he was @ 1/8 tank, and i was just a lil over empty. you do the math.

im a firm believer that this thing gets better MPG doing about 95 vs. 80. thoughts?
