oh ok, i guess i'm not in too bad of shape then.. I get around the same as you... but damn... sure do want to be able to get more out of each gallon... maybe changing my wires, air filter, and rotor cap will do me a little justice
You've got a 347 and getting around 17 in the city. You're not gonna do much better than that.

Roughly 11-14 city and 17-19 highway. If you're having mileage issues, take a look at your fuel filter also.
