Those who drive mostly in town (city), what kind of mileage are you getting?

mods in sig.. anywhere from 15-18 city, 25mixed, 28 hwy only. My commute is 4 miles to work in city, then 5 miles to school 90% city with 1 mile of highway with 2 traffic lights on that mile stretch. 15 if I get on it everytime I feel like it (at least twice each way), and 18 if I'm a good boy and only get on it once and not fully lol. the 28mpg is cruising at 70-80mph I could get better if I could make myself stay closer to 70... *shrug*
sad part is my gf's cobalt gets the same hwy mileage

I seem to get 14 most of the time when I dont get on it. I almost never drive on the highway so I dont even know what it gets as far as that goes. I was about to post this same thread last week and then forgot all about it. I was curious as to what other modded cars like mine get for mileage in town.
Kinda sucks there are only a couple guys with H/C that posted up.

I put the H/C on at the end of October, drove for 2-3 weeks with tuning issues, break in, etc, taking it easy on the car.
THEN I got into a 1 car wreck and its been in the body shop ever since.
Seems like the 13.5 seems to be a more realistic average.
Also, no WOT runs either, this is all just cruising considering my trans locks me out ofter 2 gear pulls, so I would imagine much less once I get a new clutch/hydraulics

That being said, I just calculated my MPG, and I got 15mpg city only. I have an MS3 cam, and bolt ons. Stop lights kill MPG for cammed cars.

Eh... A stock/bolt on car will get that. Most of the people you see getting 15mpg and below are cam only or H/C. This thread is asking for a response from people with modded cars.

My old setup...

prcls6 stg 1
ported 90/90
410s w/ 26" tire
4400 converter
LTs dumped
etc etc...
Got around 11 in city and around 15 on highway.. it was not MPG friendly, neither was my foot either though.
