I get 28 in my TVS 2.2 base model with stage 2 ZZP cams and I thought that was bad. However, if I stomp on it much that drops real quick. I used to get 36mpg before I started modding.

Either the car dies or I am die before it changes hands. It's not worth selling anymore.

I was considering selling it to get a cheap car to help pay for the car I'm building but it's not worth it anymore.

I average around 27 on e47 and can't complain about that. My 2010 Dakota with the 4.7 v8 was around 16.
