I got 259 miles on a full tank the other day. This is with cams, fuel pump and a base flash.

I get about 270ish too before the light comes on, and then when I fill up there is usually 2-3 gallons left in my tank...so im not doing to bad on mileage...my best was 27mpg coming back from Martinsville, VA...other than that I average around 21-23 part city, part highway, and part country backroads...

i cracked 300 on one tank before with basically a lot less than 1 gallon left in the tank. i used to get horrible gas mileage 200 per tank before, but i adjusted my driving habits, and perhaps the ecu's fuel trims learned accordingly.

my absolute best has been 220 until the light came on. Very little highway, mostly street. Even if i stay out of boost for a whole tank i only make it slightly above 200...

My light comes on between 210-225, my best totalt mileage was around 250. I use 93 or 94 octane, mods in my sig. My foot tends to be on the heavy side, but thats why I have the car.

The best I have ever done was 23mpg. 99% of the time it is 21mpg. Usually I get around 250-260 miles before I have to fill up.

You must drive like a grandma most of the time if you get that kind of mileage lol. I would know as I dedicated this week driving like a grandma to get about the same amount of miles as you.

This is about where I am too. I've got cams, 850cc injectors, AEM EMS, walbro fuel pump and other various mods (intake, exhaust, etc). My driving is basically all city with the occasional hard run on a fun backroad. I can almost never go a whole tank without doing that once

After about 210 or so the light will come on and I'll fill up and get somewhere between 12 and 13 gallons. Not the world's best fuel economy, but that is not exactly what I purchased the car for

Yeah I do drive like a grandma most of the time, otherwise I'm sure it would be much worse!

Thats the same way i am. I cant go a tank of gas without flooring it a little. It takes enough self control just doing the speed limit.
