Default Mpg Reference

2001 S with 7200 miles. 16 inch Te 37's ( 11.2 lbs ea) and no spare
K&N air filter with synthetic oil, cruise control used on highway miles.

Mixed highway and city MPG:

Gas pump light came on at 299.5 miles
Last bar went out at 307 miles
Filled up at 317.5 miles with 11.488 gal ( 27.64 mpg )
usually gets > 30 mpg on highway alone.
Working on another improvement that will increase MPG again.
This is well above what is on the sticker.

I've gotten over 32 on the highway with the V-AFC set the way it is. This is taking it pretty easy though

I was getting about 28 on the highway untill I started playing with my Narrow throttle settings on my V-AFC. I take it easy on the highway. I usually gat about 20-21 around town

I got 33 once: pure highway driving with a few VTEC sprints, gas station to gas station. I usually get 21-23 in the city.
