If i stay around town i usually get 260 - 280 miles to a tank. If i use some highway i can stretch it out to about 320 or so...330 if i'm lucky. I live in Delaware so i'm pretty much sea level. I drag race too sometimes and it's almost 60 miles to the track one way.

Bad part is i'm pretty modded and I've got a big right foot.

cai / headers / p & p IM / tb / piggy / boe's ported fuel rail / magnacor wires / iridium plugs ... among other stuff

Here is a pic of where my gas milage is currently. Keep in mind that it has been over 90 degrees every day since I've filled up, and I've been mostly city milage, or highway milage at 95mph average.. lol.



More updates as I become less full...

I pretty much get the same mileage (depends on how much stop and go I have to go through), but I got an '02 OZ. Intake and exhaust only. Headers one day!

Alright guys, I'm at work and my tank is nearing the dreaded GAS LIGHT.. lol. That means I will have burnt 10 gallons of fuel. I'm at about 290 miles right now.. so by the time I get home the gas light will probably be on, and that means I'll have gotten 30mpg. I'll take pictures of my gas gauge, milage, and the gas pump to show how much it takes to fill up the tank when the gas light clicks on. (usually 10.2 gallons). Its been over 90 degrees the past week, and humid, so when its cooler out my gas milage gets a little better. Plus I'm all city miles right now, or hoping on the highway on the way to work (5 miles), but avg. speed of 90+mph, so thats about 3700rpms or so. No I'm not racing, its just out in the middle of nowhere with no cop turn-arounds for about 10 miles. Pix will be up at the end of the day.. approx. 5:30pm EST.

Quick Review of my mods that COULD and do effect gas milage:
-Injen SRI (custom heat shield/ram air)
-RRM 4-1 ceramic header.
-RRM Test Pipe.
-Magnaflow Catback Exhaust System.
-Mobile 1 Synthetic Oil.
-K&N high performance oil filter.
-Evolution 8 wing.
-87 or 89? octane gas. Depends which gas station I'm at, but usually 87.
-No A/C on, windows open, sunroof open.
-Radio turned 1/2 way up.. lol. (350watt mono amp, 2 12'' polk momo subs in custom *light* fiberglass enclosure)
-bad slipping clutch. WORKS stage 2 clutch and WORKS flywheel ordered next week.

EDIT: Oh, and you can add up the milage on the odometer and trip meter to make sure I haven't been cheating, and you can analyize the pix in photoshop to make sure they haven't been altered in any way.

My ES goes through hell most of the time, mostly high speed cornering and such. It gets me good mileage and i have some mods on the way. Where are you in St.louis? I'm in west county.

Ok, here is my gas milage. I refilled my car when the gas light came on. (after about 5 miles till I got to a gas station). I filled up with about 10.4 gallons of gas, and I went 311 miles, so that equates out to about 29.98 miles per gallon, or 30mpg. Thats my city driving. You guys will have to wait a while until I go up north and get all highway driving to figure out my mpg there. Heres the pix, unaltered. (just resized)
I still had about 3 gallons left in the tank, so figure another 85-90 miles on my tank.

I get an average of about 29-30 mpg with half city, half highway, bone stock. Got 30-31 when I had reflash, intake, exhaust. But wiretaps original estimation does not surprise me at all, as I recall rhyzin getting 40 mpg when he tuned his cam and a few more mods. Part of it is mods, but at least half of it is driving style. I get 33 when I am consistently light on the gas, and 25 when I hammer around town. And let's not forget that the ECU adjusts itself to your driving style.
