G'day Nashy,
Prior to my current car, an F6 Typhoon, I owned a 2003 N/A XR6. What a great car. My experience with it, although it had extractors, 2 1/2 in exhaust and Unichip, was that I got around 12 - 13 around town and as low as high 9s to low 10s on country trips. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine. It was sad leaving it at the dealers but the tears of joy started when I drove out in the F6. Cheers, Ken
