Although I am a 5 spd and I use my cruize even in the city.. I do get alot of cel lights re: emissions though but they go out..I don't have an muffler either so shaved weight

Um, if you get a lot of CELs that pretty much explains your mileage......

Damn, thats moving right along, I dont care if you do 80 on the parkway/X95 whatever....

My average speed for a work week is NEVER over 40mph. I live in rural south jersey, and heres only 3 traffic signals or stop signs on my entire 48mile commute, and only one 1.9 mile section where I cant do at least 50.

I'm almost all highway, Rt37 to the parkway 50mph limit I normally do 60, Parkway is 55/65 I usually set my cruise control to 80-84mph and unless I hit traffic don't slow down until exit 142 in union, I get off onto I78 which is a 65mph limit and I resume 80mph to Rt24 which is 65mph (I just keep it at 80) and once I jump off Rt24 I drive about 10 miles up Columbia Turnpike which is 50mph and I usually drive about 60... Outside of that run up and back almost every day I don't really drive the car...
