no, i don't have sport suspension. i only want to know if the sport suspension gets better milegage because the front end is lower.

just something came up to my head today

I've only had mine for almost 2 weeks and filled up for the 3rd time today. So far my averages have been between 17-22 and that is a mix of 50/50 city/stop and go highway miles, oh yeah and one trip to san diego and back

a 400 mile range is definitely not out of line for an extended highway trip or exclusive highway driving.

If you just average 24 MPG, 17 gallons (pretty much the entire tank) will get you 408 miles. Since an all freeway drive gets 25+ MPG, high 300's is no problem. Just be very clear where that next gas station is...
