MPG average? is this in line with others?

yeah i am looking for numbers from people with comparable mods and no tune. it seems i am not seeing anything to far out of the norm but better gas milage is always a plus with prices these days. i try and stay out of it as much as possible but every tank i get i am sure i give it a little pedal here and there, just to make sure everything is in check. so for folks who drive a non-cam car on the highway and in the city with some traffic are you seeing about 18mpg average and 250ish per tank on 93 octane?

i get roughly 19.2 mpg with my setup. i know in this area, there is a summer-mix, which causes mpg drop-offs (due to all the traffic on the roads in good weather) however, in winter, there really isn't a special mix. i know soon before or after it becomes summer, the mpg drops to around 17-18, and usually a little after fall hits, it rises back to 19-20.

well on average i go through 230 miles a week, gunning it, racing sometimes, and driving under 2k rpms. So im getting like 12-14 mpg i think that's pretty good considering my foots alway on the accelerator
