I avg 15 to 16 all around. When just hwy the best I have gotten is 22.3, driving 68mph. Over Christmas going to Denver I got 16.8 running 85 w/nasty crosswind the whole way(500 miles). Winter fuel is always worse than summer.

The maintenance isnt any different than a gasser. It just holds alot more oil. I change out fuel filters every other oil change. All of the work is easily done yourself. If you go to guzzles website he has a great page on maint. with step by step instructions.
