OK here is the update on this last tank of gas. From full I got 170 miles and its empty as empty now. I was shifting around 2k and that seemed to help cause i usually get barely 150 per full tank. So hmmm....Im going to LA tomorrow so I will monitor what i get on the freeway.

I get around 10MPG. However I do accelerate really quickly, although I don't romp on it or anything. All I do is city driving BTW. Sucks, my highway trips are never more than about 15 minutes at a time.

Since installing my QTP LTs and Catted Y w/ GMMG my MPG has increased!
At the 3/4 mark w/ city driving no topping off w/ Speedway Super Premium 92 octane i used to go 70-76 miles. I have seen 79 and even 83 since and i am driving with a MUCH heavier foot

Yeah it freaking SUCKS!!! I dont have that much of a lead foot, but I know I haul *** all the time, so not sure whats causing it. Im still monitoring it more carefully. I got 20 more miles out of this last full tank by shifting at 2k instead of 3k.

I'm in AZ, and I get usually 200 miles to a tank. But that is all city (sometimes pretty spirited) driving, with the A/C on all the time. During the winter when I don't use any A/C, I'll usually get 225-230 to a tank. I bet the 91 octane is hurting our mpg a little bit compared with people from other parts of the country.
