There's huge variation on the mileage these cars get depending on how and where you drive them. I find that on long highway runs I can get up to 27mpg. If I hotrod it around town I'm down around 11mpg. In "normal" driving, some highway some city I'm about 14.5mpg per the computer. It just depends if you baby it or not. Like you it's just a toy to me so I don't get too excited.
