Finally decent mileage!

Took my 600 out this morning for a nice highway run, about 100 miles, and I got a reading near 20 mpg's!!!! Its only got 1200 miles on it, so maybe things will get even better?!?!

Things get better.. mine started out low, but now I constantly read 20 mpg or more on the highway, and 16 or so city.

Yeah im lil curious too. Im suprisingly not concerned much with the mileage. The familys 99 gets 21 and when i came home at 15-16 im like meh who cares. Still better than my gasser haha.

But bought it yesterday(sat the 24th) with 9 miles on it. Figured awesome everything should be ok. Comming from Woodhouse in Blair nebraska( sold 52 dodge vechiles while i was there alone) but it was a march build. But i think ill be ok. Doing better than most with only 150 on the clock
