was getting 35 cruising at 50ish

26 mpg in mostly stop and go traffic w/ ~55 top speed

I think the minimum I would get w/o beating it horribly each time would be 25mpg

I'm just over 1000 miles and have averaged @ 27mpg. I think if I really tried I could get around 32 mpg for a week with mixed driving.

My speedo reads fast and my computer mpg is always 1-3ish mpg high, I figured they were linked together, anyhow...

I recently hand checked it with some city driving, mainly highway, and 5 passes at a 1/8th mi track and i got 28. With 5 passes, I'm sure atleast one other time I jumped on it, I thought 28 was awesome.

I checked it again where I only jumped on it once or twice and I got 31. Stage 2, 2.9", exhaust, intake, HPT tuned slightly. Not bad at all if you ask me.

with about 80% highway and 20% city i'm at 27.5 mpg and about 650 miles on my car...however...I've heard that sometimes your fuel mileage will increase when you have put some miles on it....probably around 1,500 miles....sometimes the computer runs rich when it is brand new to make sure the engine is properly broken in....watch your fuel mileage once you get past this point and it will probably improve...

also...those guys that were saying they can get 50 mpg barely tapping the gas....i can get 99 mpg coasting....so that instantaneous mpg is irrelevent!
