bad gas mileage on highway?
I just took a trip from chicago to right around dallas, tx in my 05 Redline. My average mpg at 72-75 was 27.5 and at 65 i got 31.4. Driving just around town I get 26.4 average. Is this normal? I was expecting low 30s, got a homemade shortram intake right now and thats it.

Sounds about right...maybe a tiny bit low, but that could have been caused by a headwind, uphill grade, low tires, etc. A little over 30-35 at 65 mph is about right for a 2.0, though.
