My guage is a little messed up and when the gas pump turns off, my guage only reads about 3/4ths of the way full. When its on dead empty (no gas light though, I imagine there is still a 1/4 left or so). I usually get 225-230 a tank this way, but it may only be 3/4ths of a tank. Do you all know if all 98's had a gaslight? If so, I may start taking advantage of this!

I get only about 120-140 miles per tank in town. I do alot of short trips though, so it kills me. Not keeping muy foot out of it kills as well! I havent done a road trip yet. I did drive a big loop out side of town and went about 75 miles and the needle was still up at full. That was with no hotrodding. So I think my highway will be fine.

I am in about the same boat as you, it sucks, it goes up to about 200-220 when I do some highway driving but thats rare

I'm getting around 23 MPG on the highway still with the big cam. But in town driving I'm down to 14.5ish. I like to hear the car stall though

In the city mine is around 14-16 mpg depending on how heavy my foot is. As for the highway it gets 26+ mpg

With mostly city driving I'd say around 180. City/highway mixed 220. One trip it was almost all highway (with a couple WOT blasts) and I hit 285 just when it touched the "E".

Driving style makes a huge difference.
