I also found out that if you don't shift out of 1st at 5000 rpms it Will starve for gas before it shifts into 2nd. .
careful though....that's how I blew out my shift selector switch:mad
I intended to shift, but didn't click it up far enough, in a flash the RPMs were off the chart! It does save the motor though.

I wish I didn't have to answer that, because it makes me sound like I don't care about gas mileage and I do. Simply put, I haven't a clue, but I do use 87 for three fillups and then one 93 to clean it up. I see no difference in either octanes.
I know you mention the 2 black V's at your delaler quite often, but less face it, it's not a roadster color. I thinkk it looks bland. My Platinum is nice but I will say I think the infra red is the hot color, but will draw more tickets.

I'm averaging a whopping 12mpg and using only premium gas

BTW ....I get tickets in every color!

Mike, 12 mpg means faster than average and I believe you`re a ticket collector.

I think in C&D they`ve had an observed fuel economy ao 15 mpg.

When does your speed-limiter kicks in? at 155? I hope I get the chance to check this out on Bob`s V soon.:cheers

Hans
limited at 155 just like the XLR....but I can get there alot sooner!!

..............you'll need to show bob what it feels like
