The other day I filled up at about 23 mpg on 87.

I saw this guy on the Steeda timing adjusted review page that said he was getting 32

I get around 14.5 consistantly. I only ever drive 3-5 miles at a time, so I don't know if that is normal or not...I wish I could get 20

Driving too school one time which is 240miles i averaged 27mpg with the stock gears and doing around 75 and dropping it back a gear or two and punching it every now and then. But that was with the diablo tune the stock tune i could only get around 24 at best.

I've gotten 29.5mpg this summer once, it was all highway driving though (with the mods I have now). I was shocked...

Usually get 25 mpg and i don't drive to save gas.
Nor do I shift at 2000rpm like a lot of people seem to do on this site...usually 3000.

Yea i don't know. My mpg didn't really change much as I've added the mods...expecting it would go down. I'm not complaining

I probably do normally get around 24mpg.

Yeah, 100k and I run 87. Started pinging on one tank under load but I think it was bad gas as it has since stopped.

Seafoam it, that may clean some carbon buildup out and let you run 87 without the pinging if it has buildup in it.
