First tank, I got around 20.6 with alot of city, and a bit of highway. Ragged the car a good bit so I know that didnt help it out.

Stock gears, intake and catback. What do you guys average?

My commute is about 24 miles, one way. I have three stoplights and 20 miles of it is over 75 to 80 mph. I have stock gearing.

Last time I checked when I took it easy, I got 25MPG. 3.73s, cams, full boltons.
Usually probably get around 20, but one or 2 WOT blasts really eat the fuel now days after all the work.

I was getting a steady 27 at a cruising speed of 65mph for 1 hour and 25 minutes with stock gears. I now have 3.73s and it has dropped drastically.

On the other hand, I get between 60- and 70-mpg in my bike.

My dad's prius usually averages between 48- and 65-mpg. He loves it.

Hawaii currently is using E10 so my MPG is suffering a bit

My low was 13.85 to a high of 25 all highway.

Nothing more than boltons, and stock gearing.

4.10 Haters

Just made a 700 mile trip to dallas from Little Rock. Topped off with 13.2 gallons of 93 when the LOW FUEL light came on. Made it 340 miles before it came on again This was 99% highway too, driving about 2800-2900 rpms the first 150 miles and then 2300-2400 rpms the rest of the way until the light came back on.

340/13.2 = 25.75 mpg, all highway with 4.10s.

Now, its not an exact # because theres no way of telling exactly how much fuel I used. I just went from LOW FUEL light to the next LOW FUEL light, and there was still a good 20-30 miles left if I wanted to risk it.
