On the way back from Monterey,cruising about 100-110,I got 15.7 MPG.I'm surprised everytime how good the gas mileage is on the freeways.EPA's gas mileage on freeway is 13.On the street it is less than 10 and if youy step on it it's probabely 4-6 MPG.

On the road if you take it easy you can get over 20mpg, but on the track the other week I had it below 5 for 10 laps. Lets face it though, "taking it easy" isnt really the idea of lambo ownership is it.

Raymondo,
I drive a Gallardo (as shown in the title of my first posting of this thread). It's a manual gearbox model.

on the street I average about 8-9 MPG but on long distance driving I get about 14-15 MPG.

Default Jalpa '88

I was very suprised that I was getting 19.5 on my ride from Boston to NYC and 1bout 16-17.5 around town. On my first Jalpa, which did need work, I only managed 14 highway and 10-12 around town.

I am very happy considering the car is carbed and has 4 of them!

On my trip I had to calculate the milage a few times before I believed it.

In Hong Kong we have a very hilly terrain.
On a Sunday I would burn HK$ 250 for a 30 Km drive. (1 US$ = 7.8 HK$)
Petrol is HK$ 12.75 / litre of fuel.


On a rather spirited drive I would burn HK$ 300 / 30 Km.

I can never fill up becasue its takes me 10mins just to get 1/4 of a tank.
FWIW, I have found that only the pumps/nozzles found at Chevron allow me to fill at a reasonable rate.
