RE: feul mileage
Stock 3.31 gears, automatic.
Avg @ 80 = 23-24 MPG
Avg @ 70 = 32 MPG
This is level travel, throw a few hills in there and it will drop to 28 MPG.
Worst mileage is around town, <40 MPH = 19 MPG or less.

RE: feul mileage
on average i get about 18 miles a gallon when i give her some gas. when i drive according to the law, i can pull 23 mpg on average. i also have gotten up to 28 miles per gallon, i had to do a long drive without traffic though.
87 octane here is on average $3.20 a gallon....at costco! i use the STP fuel injector cleaner with turbo fuel and it helps.

Been trying to get full bars in the Fuel Economy reading but still at 20.8 average with mostly highway driving 160 miles daily on weekdays.. I have changed my ignition wires, installed JBA shorties, C&L CAI with Xcal2 from AA, true duals with GT take Offs...all these should improve my average gas consumption. I do have the Roush hood scope and side window louvers...maybe it's causing a drag!

maybe you should drill a hole into your hood to relieve some of that drag and too cool the motor a bit.
