I get like 22 in the burbs. MY00 with a TP/ 70mmexhaust. Its like 80-100ish LB lighter than stock now. But has 255 RE71's.

28-30 at 70-75 MPH on the highway is normal. I think I got 30 a couple times on the way to/from California.

Well. I used to get that. Before the car was in storage. :'(

Dude give fcking mileage between fillups.

That means nothing to anyone, but is equally useful.

You gave an almost complete picture of one fillup, yesterday.

Now you come back, say you put in 4 gallons & drove 10 miles. You're either getting sub-NASCAR level fuel economy or you're not giving us the information. This isn't hard. If you can't figure out how to clearly present this information, there's more issues at hand than your car's fuel economy.

Compare what you posted ITT to the information I'd share:

Last five fill-ups:
253.5 miles driven since last fill-up - 9.971 gallons, 30% city mileage
245.3 miles - 9.854 gallons, 30% city mileage
277.7 miles - 10.353 gallons, 30% city mileage
278.7 miles - 10.745 gallons, 30% city mileage
290.4 miles - 10.155 gallons, 30% city mileage

I've given you my mileage since the last time I put gas in, how much gas I put in the car to bring it back to full & a very, very broad idea of my driving conditions.

I filled up with 4.1 gallons and I’ve drove 10 miles so far. So I’ll keep you guys updated.

From now on, fill up at a quarter tank, give or take.

Try and eliminate as many variables as you can. Daily updates do less for us than solid numbers.

If ethanol free gas is available in your area try that.
It would be easier figuring mpg if you always would fill the tank. Putting in 4 gal. and showing less than 1/2 tank means nothing to me.

I think you should forget about this fuel economy stuff and just enjoy the car. Sounds like it is absolutely fine.

What were you getting before? Same driving habits/conditions?

I think that you're kinda stuck with the MPG you get due to those two factors.

Not much you can do, it seems.

Do you let the car warm up or idle for a few mins?
