When do you shift...like at what rpm? Do you beat up your car? (race it, redline it a lot, ect.) because you shouldn't be getting 19...even with beating up your car...

I always average at least 24MPG with mostly city driving. On the highway, 32 or better. The 24 average is achieved with a lot of spirited aceleration.

I don't think I could get mine down to 19 MPG no matter how bad I beat on it. Something sounds wrong there.

Well i see it like this my opinion ok the stage 2 has bigger injectors ok but if you dont drive your car hard and faster then you did when you were stock then you will be having about the same amount MPG the bigger injectors allow more flow of fuel when the gas pedal is pressed so if you dont drive it like animal with the stage 2 then you should get about the same MPG as stock

Have them check the fuel filter or the 02 sensors might be bad causing bad gas milage, check the air filter, tire pressure... anything! Might change gas stations and see if there is a difference!
