Average Gas Mileage in the SS/SC

Hey i got the injen cold air intake and am just wondering what other ss/sc drivers are getting for mpgs and how many miles on a full tank of gas. Ive had the intake for about a month now and am still in love with the whine so i am going a bit heavy on the gas in second and the fuel economy in car reads 25 mpgs in city driving like i am. Dont live near any big highways but just trying to get some feedback on average miles from other ss/sc drivers. thanks

21-26mpg mixed, according to the DIC... usually ~250mi per tank
I think my spark plugs are hurting mileage

I average about 24mpg, I love boost too much I guess. 5PSI is plenty to accelerate normally IMO...that's why I aim for 7-8PSI.

Completely stock car by the way.
