RE: 314 miles on a tank

I fell blessed if I fill up and the computer says 260 miles to empty, usually says 240...WTF

I get like 200 with 3.55's wtf???

98% short city drives though.

This is what I get also. This is why I have held back on a more aggressive rear gear.

Same here. 200 miles to a tank with almost all city driving in traffic (rarely doing the speed limit).

with 4.30 gears and full bolt-ons, and an aggressive tune. I love this car.

Ever since the SC install, I can't make it through a tank without dipping into the boost a few times. My best with SC installed is 20mpg, without it, 25mpg was about average for highway and some city included.
Considering my 1985 LX 5.0 got at best 17mpg on the highway when new, this is a bargain!

RE: 314 miles on a tank

Lately i've been driving @ around 18mpg. Most of it city driving... I am starting a job some 20 odd miles away, bumping the city - hwy to about 50-50 i guess. I wonder if I can break 20mpg soon. It has been a while since I did that. Generally I do 17-18. Last tank the 50 miles left notification rang at about 220 miles.
