Default Hey guys, with bolts ons, whats your gas mileage?

Ive been getting bad gas mileage for the past 2 years or so and i can't see to find anything wrong. I drive pure city, with tons of stop signs, etc, short trips in general, and i muster around 10-12mpg and thats granny driving.

PLugs/wires are new, as is air filter(paper), o2s have around 20k on them, no codes. Car is tuned. No smell of gas.

I think its pretty low.

I've got a similar setup, and with my average daily city driving, I get ~18mpg.

Same here. 17-18 mixed city and highway. Definitely something going on with your tune.
