It could be worse lol, I was getting ~15.5 mpg driving 80-90% highway. Though I did get ~18.5 mpg all hwy on the ride home after switching back to the stock torque converter before my transmission crapped out on me again. Hopefully I can get that mpg consistantly once the car is driveable again.
Yeah, my mpg is bad but I'm not complaining...if I wanted great fuel efficientcy I would've bought a Prius (actually I wouldn't have, I would never buy a damn Prius lol).
