Default Gas Mileage Poll!
Post what converter and gas mileage you have.

On my old car:

Midwest 3400 2.5 STR, 12 before headers, a massive 13 after. Mostly city driving.

With Vig3200, 19.5 mpg. Mixed driving. 60 mile round trip into Dallas and out of Dallas.

With Yank PT4000, 19 mpg. Mixed driving. 60 mile round trip into Dallas and out of Dallas.

Now that it's not a daily driver, I'm lucky to get 10mpg. When I haven't driven it all week, it's hard to keep my foot out of it.
