extrapolating, 240 ish.

any codes? bad O2's, Maf issues, ECT, ACT out of calibration, bad EGR, etc can cause richness.

you are not exactly stock - wonder if that has anything to do with it.

good luck.

I get 15-18 MPG depending on how I drive. 15 MPG is driving pretty fast and heavy acceleration. 18 mpg is driving like my dad. Caravans beat me off the line... But it softens the gas bill.

I get 22-25 MPG with regular driving. Obviously it drops when I drive it hard.

I can squeeze about 175 out of a tank. That is mostly city tho. Last weekend I drove 187 miles and still have a half a tank left over...All highway. Made me happy.
