I guess abnormal is ok when in this case. 
Why would that cause it to go down? Higher compression? More power should make it easier to stay at speed.

no, i would say 22-24 is normal. i get about 280 miles a tank combined driving, i was over 300 before the 4.10s

28mpg is doable when still stock. I used to get 27-28mpg on my trips to florida from NJ when i just had full exhaust and 3.73's...was @330 miles per tank. That dropped considerably after the PI swap and comp cams went in.

RE: gas mileage.
I've heard its not good to wait till the fuel light comes on to fill up..I dunno how true that is, but it can't be good lol Someone once told me to fill up on 1/4 tank, always...w/e although u prob dont do that on every tank of gas...

you ever add 75rwhp to your car? Its really hard to keep your foot from hitting the floor with the gas pedal afterwards!

RE: gas mileage.
My car gets it's best mileage on gas I buy down South, I'm in central Virginia, I drove my car to CT, I used 9.5 gallons in 295 miles of driving, yes that's 31.05 MPG! And I was travelling 70-75-80 mph all the way. I average 28mpg on my commute to work, I love this car! Oh BTW, my mileage dropped to 18 MPG on CT gas and driving tons in the city. Give me the rural life, and Southern gasoline!
