I got the V6 because that extra 7+ thousand can be used for aesthetic and performance upgrades; I hate the fake ram air intake on the V8 and I love a unique and beauitful car which stands out more than a common high performance one.

Anyways. Mileage is about 21.8 HUGE hills where I live each way to work, i'd say when i'm not traveling down south past LA I get about 50/50 city & hwy. When I travel from central cali to socal I get anywhere from 24-28mpg depending on how i decide to ride it. But generally I like to go fast

As for everyone who is complaining about gas mileage, it might be important to note that EPA rated gas mileage is the equivalent to running a car in ideal conditions, NEVER more than the average national speed limit of 65, with no hills. If you are getting 21-23 mpg at around 70 then you should not be complaining. This is a muscle car, not a Honda prius. V6 or not, this car has power and if you bought it to get 30mpg then you bought the wrong car.
