Now don't get me wrong, this car has some cool engineering and all that, but hell at 40 mpg you could give up just a few mpg and get a CL-S and go to the track like we do and turn 14's and then go on a trip, cruise at eighty and get (from what I'm hearing) 32, 33 or even 34 mpg! Just a thought...that the 3.2 is quite a torque monster and at the same time so efficient out on the highway. I should say that to be fair our cars don't average 32 or so, but damn it's not like we can do 14's but only get 12 mpg or something.

For the rest of us, 24 to 26 is more like it. I once got 31.1 on a trip to Tucson from Phoenix but typically average in the mid 20s.
