I would think upper teens to low low twenties. If you look at your original window sticker there was a federal "gas Guzzler" tax of one grand incorporated into the 03's price. I personally don't see how anyone can remain sedate enough to drive one without getting on it at least some. Your drive may also contain lots of hills which would affect mileage or you may stay in your gears longer than where optimum gas mileage would be found at.

I have an '03 cobra that I drive to work quite a bit with 40 miles each way to work, and I usually get anywhere from 250-300 miles for a tank depending if I get on it or not. Only mods I have are a BBK cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust. 150 miles sounds extremely low.

I'm getting an average of 17 miles in city driving, but about 24-25 on long freeway drives, but use the cruise control! I did measure 26.5 on one trip.

I guess I drive mine to hard, because I only get 13-15 miles per gallon.
I get about 170 miles per tank. I fill it up at the first part of the E mark on the gauge.

Of course, I didnt buy it for the gas mileage. So, I dont mind it.
