blew up the old 10 bolt spider gears with 3.73s when had bolt-ons and could outrun a stock ls1 (did it on a 1800 RPM clutch dump at the track

) and this was the quickest rear i could find to get my car running again

But you didn't run out of gas so you didn't use it all. Do this to figure out what YOU'RE actually getting.

Fill up all the way and reset the trip.
Drive
Fill up all the way again and note how much gas went in.
Take the gallons you put in with the trip mileage and do the math

oh i know i used about a tank and a half cause after we got here, and i was bone dry when i filled up before we left and when we filled up halfway through, i also know exactly how many miles it is to get here, and i know i only used about half of the second tank cause i didnt have to fill it up until the next day after the drive up here after driving around all day getting stuff for the new apartment, hell 33-36 mpg is awesome to me in this car.... wont be like that for long though changing out the gears and prolly getting some more mods so i can watch that awesome mpg go poof and never see it again
