I get around 21 MPG on the highway and 15 MPG around town.

Due to my supercharger and fuel system....I try to never let the tank go below 1/4 tank (so I don't know when the "low fuel" light comes on).

04GT, Professional Products 70mmTB and upper plenum, K&N intake, SLP x-pipe w/ high flows and Loud Mouth 1, Diablo Predator.

Ive only had 3 weeks with my car when i was home from iraq, which is when i put all the parts on. on the 93 octane tune fromt he predator i was getting 24-25mpg consistently on 75% highway driving, and got as high as 28 but that was going 65mph. on the 87octane tune i got about the same with not MUCH drop in performance. i am really impressed with the mileage on the car and happy with my car overall (just bought it and like i said only got 3 weeks with her).
