a little over 8 gallons in 54 miles.. for a little under 7mpg :ph34r:
this was yesterday at a school day at thunderhill race track, it was over 90F so i was back to using 100octane @ 6.49/gallon as a buffer against deto (no way i was going to CA spec 91 octane in those conditions)
other guys from my run group
![[Image: 0819071328a.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/spamnazhere/cars/0819071328a.jpg)
the yellow car is a c5 z06 and the white porsche is a 911 C4.. other cars in the group were c6 z06, e46 m3, elise and some random others
elise driver wasn't that great, so i was able to pull away from him.. the 911 driver and were close in the corners but he had more power and shorter gears so i couldn't catch him.. the vettes blew by me at will :o
there was a focus in another run group.. i tried to take a pic of him for you guys but i couldn't get a good shot.. all i had was my cell phone.

OMG funny you mentioned that!!!! someone actually did that!!! there was also a mustang 'shelby gt-h' in my run group.. however...
i did not remember it until now because it only lasted on 20 min session.. 1 lap into the second session.. coming out of the front straight into turn one.. a MASSIVE cloud of blue smoke (as in.. the whole frigging track was covered in blue smoke) comes from the 'stang's exhaust.. continuing all through the next 3 corners.. until the driver wisely decides to put the car off course and come to a stop. it got towed off the track at the end of the session and didn't return for the rest of the day
on a brighter note for fomoco.. there was a GT500 there that sounded great and was really quick.. and a zx5 hatch was there as well (unfortunately, his run group had some ridic hardware... RS4, GT500, 335i, STi, etc.. so he was getting passed a lot.. not his fault)
