How much fuel does the G8 GT consume if you're an "occasional" spirited driver?
I went on a 200+ mile trip today. Mixed driving-Interstate(about 80mph) ,highway, City and waxed a pesky Hyundai Tiburon for good measure.
I got just under 24 mpg.
before my tune on the highway i would get 21-22, and city driving 16, now i average 19 city and have yet to drive for any long distance on the highway

Coming up on 3k miles... I tend to average around 18-19 mpg in mixed driving. I have a heavy foot and like to hunt BMWs for sport so could probably do better.
Stock 2009.5 G8 GT, burning regular 87 octane (Chevron only, please). Started out getting 16.5 mpg but she's breaking in nicely.
what is the tank capacity?
20 gallons

I get about 25-26 on the highway.
Don't do much real city driving, but rural around town
will be about 20-21.
Lowest ever was about 18-19 right after I got it
and that was pretty aggressive.
If you want to be technical the tank holds 19.2 gallons. I think.
17.something, about 50% constant 70mph highway, 50% cut-and-thrust city driving. Much better than when new (14.xx).
