If I keep it around 65mph on the highway and don't get on it..about 25mpg. I have a 6m.

On the highway your gas milage wont change. In normal "having fun" city driving I'd expect it'd go down a fair bit...maybe 20% is a good guess.

My gas mileage went to the crapper after my H/C. If I don't get on it, I get slightly less gas mileage than before ~280 per tank rather than ~300+ on the highway. If I am getting on it though (driving how I normaly do) I get only 180 per tank, rather than the 220+.

ARE Stg II H/C. T56, 3.42

Man, that just makes me want to buy me a turbo and bolt it on. I can go 425 on a long distance highway on about 14.5 gallons. At least with the turbo my gas mileage on long trip won't suffer.
