With most of the bolt ons and a 224/581 cam, I got 18 MPG on a recent trip. And that is with a crappy tune not even meant for my set up. Im sure with a better tune I could be in the mid 20s.

When I had 2:73s and a lid, I had to take a long road trip with the car. An entire tank of gas down rural interstate at a 80-85mph cruise control average, I got over 30mpg with a 77K mile car. Now with a slightly more aggresive 3:23 and minor this and thats, I still see over 20 mpg no matter how hard I drive it.

I get horrible gas mileage. Am running slightly rich....but i've never really got over 16 MPG. It depends on how you drive and what kind of driving it is. Most of my tanks have zero interstate or highway miles, lots of STOP and GO driving, and a lot of short trips where it's not warmed up for long as well. Here on campus I only get like 13-15 MPG a lot of the time b/c of all the really low speed limits and stop and go

Edit: On the highway I get mid 20's easy.

I averaged a little over 26mpg coming back from Maryland last weekend. Very pleased with that. Just under 5 gallons used for 130 miles. Around town, well that get a little worse. I can get about 225 miles out of a tank.
