Default Miles Per Gallon?

If you own a Lamborghini, it's obvious you don't pay attention to how much gas is costing you. However, I would like to know from owners of all models, what is the gas consumption at different speeds, racing vs. touring. What type of gas is the best? Any additives?

For the Jalpa, you have 4 x 42 DCNF Webers, 16/18 mph while highway cruzing, put you foot into it and it's like flushing the can.

Default Gallardo fuel consumption

I'm getting 23-25mpg cruising at 80-90mph in 6th gear at about 3500rpm, according to the fuel computer. I reckon this is pretty good. Once you accelerate in any way though, the mpg goes down dramatically. I've had it as low as 4mpg at full throttle.

78 lp400s, six webers....10 or less. Pain in the ass, seems like I'm filling the tanks (fill on each side) 1-3 times each trip.

I think I get about 13 mpg on the fwy, and less than 10 in the city. If you really get onto it, don't expect to get more than 5 mpg.

The gas mileage does not bother me as much as the pain of pumping gas. It is just very slow. If you pump it fast, the gas just spills all over the place.
