Hey everyone,

I have a 1996 GT-S Convertible. It is a 5-speed manual. So far, my gas mileage has been coming in at about 22-23 miles per gallon. I drive a fairly blended combination of open freeway and around town. Does this seem right? I expected I would doing better than this.

Still love the car, but surprised...

14,000?! On a 96? Damn, I think you have the lowest mileage of anyone on this site.
