thats about what i get. what kind of cam/ mods your running? you can see mine, i run like 125 to 200 per tank, just depends. i just rebuilt my engine 100 miles ago so i still have to be really nice to it. haha!! and not to steal the thread or anything, but i was told only 500 miles on the rebuilt engine till you can take it past 4k rpms because you have to break in new cam and clutch....is this true or do you really have to run 2k miles before any abuse at all?

get your intake on there and you'll actually improve on your gas mileage. now i've been told exhaust helps because it opens your flow and you get better mileage. i dont know if i believe that but its possible. but your intake will help for sure. what kind of exhaust you getting?

I average 220 miles per tank, and that's ONLY with city driving anda good amountof pedal-to-floor driving. If I take it to the highway, I can get 260+, and that's with having a '95 Cobra engine swapped in the fenders as well. Although, the engine has the stock heads and intake swapped on. I've been getting some minor surging, which I believe is due to lack of fuel, unless I'm way wrong.
