Yea autos get less because you don't have 6 gears to pick from :\ Sucks. My friend was getting over 30mph in his Vette coming back from Oregon. I think I only get 160-200. But I know theres some **** mucked with mine. Summer will allow me to remedy the issue.

My car is dead on tuned now (in-car), only think wrong is it's pulling timing due to false knock (or lack of detecting knock) pass side header is hitting K-member.. but im getting 100 to a tank or so.. my converter locks at 25 its a 3600 Stall.. is my stall whats killing me?

holy **** guys. I went on a trip to South Dakota to visit some family. It was 220 miles one way. I did 75-80 most of the way and got 29 mpg. With mods in my sig, minus the fuel pump. I had just a frogs hair under 3/4 tank and i filled up when i left my town. I filled up when i got to Aberdeen SD. I was surprised but not totally. I got on it a few times too while on the way out there but at cruising speed in 6th gear she get's AWESOME mileage. I'm taking it to sturgis SD this year i think. We have some bikes there already so we don't drive bikes there. Can't wait for that. I'll be burned in my face 'cause i'll have the t-tops off the whole way

There's probably something wrong. I had many mods on my car (look in my sig.). I was still able to get 200-215 miles per tank.
