MPG Thread
Last Post Ever for me.Just wondering what everyone gets mpg wise. I think tunes, exhaust and intake mods help a lot w/mpg, but I'm not sure. List your mods and mpg. My mods:
MPG City w/2min warm-up of car(winter):23mpg MPG Highway w/2min warm-up: 29mpg
-Duals w/h-pipe -JBA Mufflers
-JBA Shorty headers -Aluminum Driveshaft
-4.10's-T-Lok
-Non-tunable CAI -93 Race Tune
-Rear upper and Lower control arms
I guess in the summer less of a warm-up will be needed(30sec-1min) so mpg will go up I say 1mpg for me.

i hope you aint quiting because you're getting butt hurt over what others have commented about your threads. i never minded your threads, even if they were repetative. as long as you never got personal, then there is no reason to hate on you.

RE: MPG Thread
You guys areamazing!
I have never gotten more than 22 mpg on any tankful. That was 90% long freeway trips.
We get 18-19 around town and 20-21 mixed.
We don't leadfoot - not too much anway. (we are pushing 50 years old after all...)
I've verified the odometer and always do the math, but so far the info center has been very close to correct.
It's irritating too, one of the reasons we decided on the car is the claims of mileage in the high 20s...
