I agree, It doesn't matter what mpg your Ferrari gets. What matters is that you enjoy your Ferrari. At times I just like to go out into my garage and just look at her, Beautiful! I must admit that after I drive her I thank her and say good night. Please don't tell my wife about my mistress. Mark

Who cares about gas mileage? I certainly dont... I dont even have the slightest idea what the mileage on my 360 is...

77 308 GTB gets 12mpg in the city and 17 on the open road. But of course when you drive in town you like to hear them carbs sucking air in 2nd gear and along with the air goes the fuel. Steve

I never took exact readings, but I estimate around 10-12mpg in the city. For highway, I have this example: I drove from Vancouver to Seattle and used half a tank (approx. 35 litres to go 150 miles).Makes the conversion difficult off-the-top-of my head, using litres, and my speedo is in miles.

The manual for my 308qv says 11 city 19hwy suggesting that you shift at around 3500 to attain
this. Since I spend a lot of time in the higher
rpms I would imagine I am getting much less then

You know Chris, We didn't have a good choice either way for Pres. However, I think if Gore had gotten in we would start to see the beginning of the end for collector cars and high end sports cars.
Bush and Cheney both have big oil interests, need I say more. 11mpg town 18 to 20 mpg Hgwy 79 308 GTS.

1985 308GTSqv - my lucky number seems to be 13. I've gotten as low as 10 and as high as 15.
