I have always had trouble getting good gas mileage out of my cars because I'm a "habitual speeder" lol, so I'm thrilled to death with 21. Thats almost as good as what I get in my daily driver, 94 accord, but thats cause I drive 40 miles a day doing 90+ down the interstate the whole way. Thats about 4500 rpms. If I could just wake up earlier there is no telling how much $$$ I would save on gas.

I am getting 25mpg highway and havent had to do any around town driving since I finished my project. I still figure not too bad with a FAST 90/90 set up.
