Surprised at MPG I have the mods listed in my sig. I'd have to say I'm very surprised at my MPG, I took a trip out to Milwaukee 2 weeks ago and the Northern U.P. of Michigan last weekend and both times I got 27mpg on the freeway and 18mpg in the city. I'm rather impressed that a fully modded car can do this.

What were your cruising speeds on the highway? Do you short-shift or still use the 1-4 in town? Still have the 3.42 rear gear?
I'm bone stock except for catback/lid/CAI, and I average 25-26 mpg on the highway, as long as I'm staying at 75mph. I get about 15-16 mpg in town, mostly because I still have a little fun on some onramps periodically.
I'm wondering if I should seafoam the engine or change the O2 sensors (or both). No codes, 90k miles, and hardly uses any oil. I got better mileage when the car was newer (best of 29.5 with car fully loaded w/wife, dog and luggage).
