I get about 300mi to a tank with a heavy foot and mostly city and congested freeway. Best MPG i ever got was 26.7mpg on a trip to Kentucky cruise set at 73mph.

How do you manage that?

At best I've managed ~300 all city driving (I work nights so not much stop and go traffic).

Damn, when stock my car was making about 500-550 a tank but i was driving across the country. No stops only for gas, all highway for the most part. Now im lucky to get anything over 220 a tank. i know not a GXP but our numbers shouldnt be that far apart. Yea it would load for me all day yesterday.

This last tank is the 1st time I've got less than 18mpg in the 13K miles I've owned this car.

I got 17.0mpg but I've been "testing" my 275/40/17 MT drag radials out this tank.

15-16 with a moderate heavy foot sounds about right. My SS was rated 16/24 from the factory. Sometimes I get 15mpg when I drive hard and stay in the city, I've gotten as high as 30mpg driving out of town.

I actually had 13mpg for a while when I had AFM turned off and stayed in the city.

According to the DIC I've been getting 18-19.5 mpg lately combined. Best I've gotten was 26.x on the way to SoCal before. Worst I've got was 15MPG out of a tank.
