Re: What kind of mileage do you actually get?

What kind of setup are you running? I'm getting about 23 on the high way out of my heads/cam/blower 6 speed TA. Around 14-15 around town.

Re: What kind of mileage do you actually get?

That does seem low for a stock car. You may want to check into doing a tune up on it.

maybe you need a tune up. New plugs and o2 sensors will do it.

Re: What kind of mileage do you actually get?

I get around 24mpg on average. The last two fill ups i have noticed about 20mpg though. It feels and sounds like my cat is clogged. When i first got the car i was getting about 27mpg on the highway and 23 in the city. Check this thread out titled "How many miles to the gallon are yall getting?"

freaking texas, Im here now in San Antonio, some of your streets are like highways in new york. In NYC seems like Im stopped at a traffic light every few blocks, here I could let her roll for miles without hitting the brakes.
