are you driving hard one day and then easy the next? If your getting on the throttle alot you will use more gas.

plus you put in a camshaft which isn't going to burn less fuel, and you bumped up to a 3.73 which is going to consume more fuel and have a custom tune which i am guessing is aimed towards performance(because of the cam), is going to consume more fuel as well. I went from a 3.42(M6 tranny) to 4.10s and my economy around town is like i have a hole in my gas tank, but on the highway i can still manage to get 25-28mpg
