hm... wow.. the gt's can actually get pretty good gas mileage... never measured my gas mileage yet... but never thought it'd be so good when the rpms are so high @ 120km/h on the highway...
really good brush up on my standard transmission driving skills -------------------- |

ST..30+ mpg, I drive the speed limit everywhere though. The performance is a disappointment but the 5-speed makes it fun
