what gear ratio do you have? 3.23 option or 2.73? you should see around 25mpg on the highway if you keep your foot out of it...i cant.

a free flowing exhaust system, headers should increase gas millage a little.

Right now I'm averaging about 18mpg for my entire tank with mixed driving. I only use 100% gas & get about 270 miles per tank. I'm still untuned & I have picked up mpg since I switched from the mixed gas almost every station sells now. I was getting bareley 200-220 miles to a tank before switching.
