I think something is up with mine. I used to get 19-20 city and 25-26 highway... now I'm getting 16 city and lucky to break 21 on the highway. Only thing I've done has been the lid and the K&N. No codes.

Something is up. Maybe I need new plugs or injector cleaner or something.

You're going to get less miles/tank because you have a 98. '98 cars have a 15.5? gallon tank, somthing like that and the 99-02 have a gallon or so more. I have to admit, thats pretty crappy mileage. I get 20 avg. Some hwy and lots of city and I don't drive like a granny. <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

I am getting 160 on my new 2002!! I also have really bad ticking the dealer is trying to pass off as normal. Do you think this could have somthing to do with it? Maybe just cuz I floor it a lot

Thanks for the offer Lane. I have auto-tap myself. I need to run it anyway, as I was getting 17 degree's of timing @ WOT when this car had 450 miles on it. I got 2200 now, and seems to be waking up.. so.. we will see.</strong><hr></blockquote>

17 at WOT? What about now? That sounds horrible... Have you ever gotten an SES light?
