Your gearing is burning up a bit more then mine but not 5+ mpg worth thats for sure. All I know is that I love not having to stop for gas on long trips. Maybe its got something to do with all the hours Louis (LGM) put into my tune.

What exhaust are you running ?? What Heads ??

What is your CR? This i has the biggest influence on FE. The poster said he is running at least 11.4. This is a whole point higher than stock and will make a big difference. ( not 5mpg though)

Sorry I was asking the question to RobG03Z06 . I must have confused you with my wording of the question.

I'm at the stock 10.5 CR...MTI C2 cam 224/581/112LSA and MTI Stage 2e heads (not milled). Gearing is stock too at 3.42. The car runs great and I'm happy with it, I'm just amazed to see 32mpg highway cruising.
