Default horrible MPG since cai/tune

filled up for the first time in a while after i ran 2 half tanks of 93 octane. filled up on tuesday and now i have a little more than a half a tank left with 60 miles on the tripometer. wut gives? I am getting on it a little more than usuall but damn not that much. i used to average 300 or more depending on highway trips etc. but im only driving 5 miles to work everyday and if i get on it just 1 time i can watch the needle drop

I average about 200 miles on the tank .. that's 100% city driving .. I do get on it a lot though!

But I don't care, if I wanted fuel effeciency, I would've got a prius!

I noticed a slight drop after I put my CAI on. I was getting 20-21 daily driving and 25-26 all highway before the CAI. I'm getting about 19 mph (25% city/75% highway) and about 25% all highway after the CAI.

Stop pushing on that right peddle so hard ... I was getting a consistent 20 mpg between highway and city driving HARD ! On my mileage tune and driving pretty conservatively I get a mixed mileage of 26 mpg. Only mods are VMP 93 octane tunes, C&L intake, SLP LMs, and Steeda UDPs.
