387 miles to the tank LOL. You must've been going 40 mph on the highway (which I hope you weren't.) Why dont people post how much theyre getting to the tank and what tune theyre on?

Last three fill-ups I'm averaging 21 MPG. This is with a mix of city/freeway, very seldom above 30% throttle. I'd like to know how to get these 300+ miles per tank like you guys are getting XD.

Get a tune end of story lol.

Before I put in my SAFCII and tuned it was was getting 200ish tops after I am getting 260ish on the same city driving and on the highway I was before 220 maybe and now my best is 301. My mods before were Megan TBE, injen IC pipes and intake, MBC at 19PSI, HKS SSQ recircd nothing other than the SAFC changed

Stock AFR is Extremely rich so under boost you killing gas milage big time. after a tune your leaning that out ALOT and it helps your milage even if you cant keep out of the boost the entire time

WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR CORVETTE! This is an EVO site! I have gotten about 21 MPG ever since I bought the car. I don't drive it like a maniac, but I enjoy it when I can. I have a Works P2 reflash, but nothing has changed. I think it all depends on how much you hammer the throttle! What is up with all the people on this site without the EVO thinking we are interested in other cars!? I joined this site because I bought an EVO, not any other kind of car. Where are you moderators?
