It's a joke. You'll probably get a 12%-23% drop:



That's a 2-3 MPG drop on a car that gets 15mpg on the combined cycle.

After I put cams in mine it gets better mpg on the highway but worse in the city. It averaged 19.5 combined before and averages 19.5 combined now.

I worry about my gas mileage with every mod I do. You own the wrong car if gas mileage is your goal.

Are you getting any porting done to the heads? Do you know if the new C&L intake is worth the cash and would be a good addtition to your plan?

My cams destroyed my city MPG actually before I got a 100mm intake, long tubes and straight pipes, I got like 11 with city driving on 3.31 gears. seriously painful, if you think about it 20 people could drive in 4 priuses the same distance as me in my car with the same amount of gas.

It's getting much better numbers now though.
