Buy a CAI/Tune and go out into the street and floor it, I garuntee your perspective will change.

The progression goes like this...
CAI/Tune ---> Tri-ax ---> Pulleys ---> Gears ---> RIMS ---> BRAKE UPGRADE ---> TURBO ---> TWIN TURBO'S ---> 200 MPH!!! ---> DEATH.
Add or remove steps in the progression, but once you start you don't stop, just like pringles.

A lot of people go by the car computer instead of calculating their gas mileage by hand and while some of the computers are dead on, I've found mine to read 2-3mpg higher than what I am actually getting. I've never gotten below 16mpg though, so you guys must really love the go pedal.

+1, calculate the old fashion way, you'll be in for a surprise. Although the computer in ours is pretty good...
I average 17-18 usually, and I drive like a tard at least once a trip. I just can't leave it alone on certain stretches. I am taking the 99 v6 out a lot lately though. Automatic is so nice on 50 miles round trip in traffic. Plus I am wondering what mileage it gets. If it's a lot better than the GT I am driving that. I am sick of burning gas sitting in traffic. I'd rather treat it to long distance travel with no frequent stops...
