Default New Best In City MPG'S

I just got 19.9 mpg in city driving. I have been steadily getting better mpg's with my mods and own take on how to make the car run better. Some of my previous mpg's in order are, 17.9, 18.5, 18.3, 18.6, and now 19.9. Let me know what your getting to see if what I'm doing is really working.

I don't know what I get, but it's prolly' not even close to that. I got' a 107 lobe sep cam, so it reaks of gas. If I had a Turbo, I'd get great mileage because I could run the stock cam, but have all that boost on tap for power runs. Someday...

I just checked mine about a month ago when i was testing to see how premium would affect my mileage. I get about 17.5 with premium and only like 16-16.5 with regular gas. So it ends up being about the same price to fill her up with the good stuff because of the extra mileage. Plus its better for the engine so its a win win haha

unless you drive like a granny, focuses suck on gas too. you gotta get on it all the time just to keep up with traffic.
