: I got a new job and I drive a lot, but all highway. So on the last tank I drove maybe 85% highway, with a couple off highway trips and a short ride with all my fiends piled in my car.

: The Results: 408 miles, 13.309 gallons......30.5mpg!

: Now...I am running 225/50 16's which is a hair smaller than stock size so my odometer may be reading a tad high, but still...even if you deduct a few mpg its still in the high 20's. This next tank should be even higher because it will be 95% highway.

: Notes: I've been driving 65mph....70 MAX, and I do have an intake and Y which I'm convined helps the power at lower rpms and the fuel too.
