I'm getting about 16MPG...but it's all city/suburb driving.. stop signs... traffic lights...traffic. Mine's an auto too.. CAI, exhaust.. will all improve your MPG.

I got over 350 miles on a tank 2 weeks ago with head wind and with only me on board. I did keep cruise control on most of the trip, however.

I mainly do city driving and I get between 21 to 23. On the hwy I usually can get about 25 to 28 depending on weather and traffic. I have 98 GT 5 spd 3.27 gears with Bassani o/r x-pipe and catback along with a MAC CAI ( w/ the Darkwolf Mod ). Hopefully this helps you out.

I'm jealous, my MPG is about 12.5. ,3.08 and Cai.with new xpipe. Runs great no codes. One problem is the converter locks up simultaneous at the 2-3 shift and 3-4 shift. I just got the car so I'm still researching my poor mpg. Thought about cam chains but i get a 20" vac at idle.
