Hi all!

I just got my Max 2k1 se 20th anniversary edition, and love it.

1 smallish issue, gas mileage. I have been using Mobil's
super. I have been seeing 20 mpg average. I do mostly
"spirited" highway travelling. The one long drive I did
in 5th gear the whole way, averaging 65-70, I got 23 mpg

Any thoughts on what is going on?

thanks
mike

New car

Put on some more miles on the car and the MPG will improve. I can cruise at 80mph and I'm getting around 29mpg

It will take U some time to break the car in. After 24K miles on mine I get about 370 fulltank on Hwy and about 450+ on hwy. Also Use synthetic oil and Synthetic Trans fluid, keep the air filter clean.
