I know, I've been lucky so far. I was fingering the hell out of it the first time I did it. Moving the tb plate all around like tb's grow on trees!

i think fresh oil changes at 3k or so does the trick...

i typically get 300+ town driving
but long trips, i can do 375+ plus thats 80+mph driving...

and depends what gas u put in!
acro,costco burn fast...
shell seems to do the better job
chevron seems to burn fast too..
76 is good.
from my experience...

there could be other factors...
tire pressure. air filter. tuning of the car? plugs? wires...etc...

The best I ever got was 25 mpg which would equal out to about 500 gal on the full tank but on average i get from 17-20 depending on what kind of music I listen to. It affects my driving style.

I baby the G mainly, I rev up to 4k every once in a long while and even then with new fluids etc, brand new k&n drop-in, I average about 300 miles per tank? (this is when I drive 80% highway to visit the fiancee). tire pressure is good as well.. I wonder if that's average?

I don't know what it is, but i'm getting 22 mpg in the surburban driving cycle. I think it's because I set my cruise control at 65 when I have to drive on the interstate.

I've had my car for 2 months and after 1 fillup I had gotten 24.6. To get that I tried some of those hypermileage driving tips. That ish was frustrating as heck!!!!

I tried that once, not going over 2k rpm, following behind people etc, screw it I'd rather pay for gas. Saving a few bucks extra a week isn't worth it. I hate math so I really dont wanna do the calculations.
