Default who gets the best mileage

just a quick inquiry. how GOOD is your gas mileage and what are your mods. I think this will be good for those of us out there who like mods but also travel a lot daily. thanks

I only have a cold air intake right now, but I plan to get ac/smog eliminator pulley put on soon. With that said, my 93gt gets around 20+ miles to the gallon on a mix, and 23-25 on freeway.

I can get around 15 with the stock fuel pressure. When I turn it down I can get around 18-20 in the city.
