Havent calculated it yet but it has dropped considerably since the cam install, luckily I only work like 5 mins away from my house other wise it would really suck..

Isnt most of San Marcos hilly, I know when we go to San Antonio it doesnt do that good because of all the hills. Especially now that gas is slowly going back up a little

The gearing could be causing the problem. I think they are too tall for a six speed car.

RPM tuned it, the idle always raises when the AC is on though.

Its a RPM4 cam, .595/.601 232/236 114lsa, doesnt chop hard (wish it did though)

Sounds like it's rich as hell in the part throttle tune. (That's bad for the motor as well as mileage)
