Don't write a romance. No records. Just give me your average number.

Mine is 275.

I don't know, never checked. It will be interesting to see what your mods does to yours. My car seems to suck gas know.

And the young nubile girl rubbed up on the... oh sorry, you said no romance.

I get 20 mpg usually... so if I were to run it dry, that'd be 275-300 miles or so.

Thanks everyone. When I first bought my car I used to get 310-320 miles to the tank, no mods. 275 today just with the bolt ons and hypercrap 3, that's a loss of 45 miles....

390-410 on the freeway cruise control set on at 70 mph. 250-260 just running back and forth to work. Around 100 during an ORR event or a lapping day

I was averaging 25mpg hiway, 20 in town before the cam & gears. Now I think I'm down to about 18 hiway & 15 in town. I can still make it to the track & run 5 - 6 times & get back home on a tank.

I keep track of this with every fill up. I write down mileage, miles on that tank, mpg, avg mph and elapsed time. I avg 10 hours a week going back and forth to work at an avg speed of 24-25mph (stop and go on I-5) and I get between 22-24mpg in that scenario. Put me on the highway with cruise on and it goes to 33-35mpg. FYI, I even kept score during my driving school and averaged 14.5mpg during that event. Pretty damn impressive to me.

Man I am getting beat here!

Our car does true average. We drive 1/3 hiway, 1/3 45mph up hill and 1/3 stop and go in town.

As Steph stated we get on average 19-20 MPG. On the freeway we get 26MPG on a regular Basis Even if It goes a little over the posted
