honestly with your mods you should be getting between 20-30 mpg or so but i only get 20 mpg my sewlf have you read the owners manuel where it says you get your best gas mpg if you use these shift points 11mph 19mph 25mph 35mph and 45 mph i believe these are the range where you should shift 1sty gear shift at 1500 and 2nd -5th you should be shifting around 2000 rpm
