80 might be why...the mpg is based on a 60mph cruise

Heck with my motor I will get 15mpg pounding on it around town, and the last 'freeway' trip was 19.5mpg and that included 8 passes/burnouts at the 1/4 mile dragstrip.

How do you calculate your gas mileage? The best method is to reset your trip odometer when you fill up (top it off) drive until you are near empty, then top it off again and take the miles on your trip odometer and devide by the gallons you put into the tank.

Thats part of your problem right there, use the previously mentioned method to figure it out and your numbers will be alot more accurate. There is no way you are bone dry every time you fill up, otherwise your pump would have bitten the dust a long time ago.

I get ~14 mpg in the city and ~25 on the highway. That's with an M6 and 3.73's. I haven't checked it out since the LT install, so those numbers before are just with CAI.

I get 12-13 beating on it in the city and it runs really rich and needs a better tune.
