hmm, i guess my best was 29mpg on the highway (at 65 ) but that was just to see what i could get, but normally i get about 27mpg. in the city, my best was 23mpg, i was only able to get that by shifting at 1.75k, normally its about 20-21. One time during the winter i had to fill it up (it was only startups and idles) and i got 13mpg, lol. I only did the best gas mileage, so when people ask me i tell them 23/29, lmao, im not telling a lie technically.

I got 22mpg form Charlotte to Raleigh but i was having some compression issues.

It made me feel bad because I did the same thing in my moms car which is an Altima with the 3.5l v6 and it made 36.8 mpg with the cruse set at 64mph.... which is freaking hybrid mileage and the thing is only rated at like 28mpg hwy.

I think its magic... I'll need to take some pics of it or something. lol

in city and partly on high way(but since i live in NY it's always a bad traffic) i get 13mpg, beating on it some times. but usually shift at 2k rpm. but i always warm my car up, i don't drive till the needle at least gets in between cold and normal lines, then i start shifting at about 1.2k rpm, the warmer it gets the higher rpm i shift at
