Yea, I am guessing I get around 14 mpg, but it really depends on how you drive it. My Roush 427 SR/TW engine is #666 (yea, nice #) and it was delivered in May, so the 700 guess should be close. Mine is polished and, like I said, I love it.

I was out driving yesterday and came up to a stop light with a few other cars including a Vette. At the next stop light I was directly behind the Vette and he tried to pull away when the light turned green. I stayed with him quite easily and he pulled into the turn lane at the next light, right next to me. He turned to me and said one thing, "you were playing with me, weren't you?" and shook his head. I have still not grounded the right foot pedal.

I also had a kid pull up next to me at a stop sign the other day and rev his engine in his 5yr old mustang (obviously with some after-market work done). Once I shook my head that I was not going to race the kid, he slowed and did a U-turn. I might have played with him a little, but I had an 85 yr old Great-grandmother in the passenger seat. She just laughed.
