Just curious, are guys with my mods getting only 170-180 miles to the tank, which averaged out to be 16 mpg? seems kinda low to me, is that normal?

Yes, I feel you brutha. I dunno what to do about mine. I have the mods in my sig, and I am getting like 160-170 to the tank. Its ridiculous. I dont get it, I dont even have F/I. I do mostly city driving, but still. I dont ALWAYS run her hard. I'll try to shift as soon as possible.

new plugs help, always check your tire pressure too low and it will kill your mpg, your fuel filter could be clogged and. or air filter, clogged air filters will kill it also, just throwing some things out
