My car is stock besides a lid/filter. I recently went on a 350 mile one way trip, with alot of that in the mountains, and got 26.47 mpg driving 75ish mostly and 80 at times. I believe in flatter terrain 28-29 or higher could be acheived. I have beat on it pretty good for a whole tank and still got 20 mpg
I love this thing

Did I miss what your driving mostly? All city? Some Hwy?
All city w/ nasty traffic I get 200 miles to the tank. Usually more but never less. I shift 1,3,4 or 5 pretty often. LID and Magnaflow muffler. I will soon install Longtubes and TR230 we'll see what that does![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
It really sounds like something is wrong man. Wish I could offer more than what has already been said.

Ps On the dyno we removed the K=n filter and I picked up 16 Rwhp and 13 Rwt. I guess itwas plugged a little.

If so, then you were averaging around 17mpg.
Am I calculating something wrong or what?

I just got about 250 miles out of a full tank.
Thats with me romping on it a few good times, driving with the A/C blasting most of the time, and in 90-100 degree weather.
So thats not too bad at all if you ask me...

I usually get about 200 driving around town and Im wondering if this tank may hit almost the 300 mile point on the highway. If anyone is getting poor mileage Try
Check tire pressure / alignment and tire tread as well
Changing your oil prefferably with some synthetic
Run some fuel injector cleaner
Check up on the maintenance and perform anything that is past due ( The how to section of this board can save you alot of time and money)
Try having a softer foot and shifting sooner is logical as well
