My WTF MPG!!!
ive never had this bad of gas mileage... i did exactly what you should to calculate the mpg and came up with 17?!? i did 70% highway (~65-70mph) and 30% city. what the hell is happening. none of my dash lights are coming on telling me something is wrong. the car just hit 134k miles. ive gotten 26mpg's straight highway going 75-80 before

i was running premium, the maf is clean. i just sprayed it last week after i polished the outside so nothing was hurt with that. im hoping i can get my headers on during thanksgiving so that will be the sparkplugs and o2 sensors along with a tune and havent checked the fuel filter

I get around 17-18 in town and will get 26mpg going to Pensacola, Florida with the girlfriend and all of our **** in the car. I'm 100% stock except for a BFH cat delete and I have the factory 3.23 gears.
I did do a small tune-up (plugs and filter) in the Spring. I also did the crankcase / vacuum line / gas tank seafoam treatment at work one day around that time and will occasionally dump a bottle of seafoam in (1oz per gallon of gas) when I fill it up.
I don't know if this helps or not, but there you have it.

On an absolutely full tank, run to E (mine will go a little past E), I got like 350 miles...so I even had maybe 20-30 miles left in it. I do a lot of highway driving, but I have gears too. I also beat on it a fair amount. When I bought the car and drove it home (bone stock with 3.42s at the time) I got 30mpg on the way home, all highway with some romping on it and a race or 2 with a cobra.
