Driving full highway miles I was able to shoot up to 26mpg.. ie a possible 364 miles if I ran the tank dry.

Going to and from work (highway and traffic) I can get on average 250 per tank before the light comes on. If I hit 120/125 miles when the needle is at halfway then i'm doing great. I still have a lead foot when I hit any of the 3 tollbooths on the way home and it's clear Generally it's just bumper to bumper traffic all the time.

I have a lead foot but if I can manage somehow to stay out of the turbo, I get 25-30 mpg for an average. But I cannot keep my foot out of it. IMAGINE THAT!! It is way to fun to suck paint off of other cars, espically muscle cars!!!!

I just had my enjine rebuilt and on my 1st tank I only got 180 miles but then got 220 on the next tank...all city driving with a short bit of highway. Although I want to enjoy my car while I own it so 200 is really all I can expect.........

Uhh, modding usually ends up burning more gas Well, you tend to drive a lot faster hehe.

I noticed no difference with my fuel maps after the 255 install and decreasing my fuel curves.

Also just got the dynoflash for good measure, my settings weren't too far off. Still no difference in mileage. 250 to a full tank if I push it.
