First tank got 21.3.. not overly impressive, but a huge step up from 8-10 and i was delivering food, which is a lot of stop and go (plus i only have 300 miles on it so its not fully broken in yet..). I payed 20k on the road. They start at around 15-16 for the base sedan and go up to around 22 for the top of the line hatch.
You should drive one of these cars before passing judgement Ryan, they really are very fun to drive. I think they look pretty cool too, though thats a personal opinion.
