Yep! Mine gets me 24 and change IF and WHEN I drive it sanely. Problem is that I'm so insane about this car, so I RARELY get that!! But it has happened on the rarest of occasions. 25 is pushing it and once you're in one, you'll know why. It's just too much fun to drive!
I just consider the extra gas an "entertainment expense" and with all the fun I have with this car, it's all true!
To Wit:
A 19 gallon tank gives you (19 gals x $2.25/gal = $42.75 per tankful):
24mpg - 456 mile range at $0.09375 per mile (conservative driving)
20mpg - 380 mile range at $0.1125 per mile (FUN driving!!)
Having fun costs 0.01875 more per mile. Multiply that times 380 miles in a "fun" tank of gas and you've spent $7.125 more per tankful to have fun. Averaging a tank a week, an extra $7.125 more per week is well worth all the fun I have in my HEMI!!!
Just my $0.02 worth!
