That seems really low. I get about 28 miles to the gallon but I do mostly highway driving. I have about 270 miles on the trip with 2 bars left on the gas gauge.

ranging from 200 to 240 depending on how much Vtec comes in which costs me roughly £50 = $77

fuel = fun times for wallet

This is pretty much exactly how mine is. Mostly highway at like 68mph I get 270-275 miles when I have 2 bars left. Thats driving like a grandma too..no vtec. The highway im always on is almost all huge hill's so I think that kills it a little. I think I could get close to 300 on a nice flat highway.

Wow, its crazy how some are almost identical, then other people are getting alot less.. I can get 270 and hit vtec a few times per tank. At half a tank im around 155-160..and then once the gas light comes on its at around 270-275.

On my last tank, I averaged 24mpg, and that was with mostly city driving. I think on my previous tank with more highway I got 26mpg or so. 27/28 mpg definitely seems doable if you drive a lot of highway miles and cruise at a sane speed (70 or so). I also baby the car and don't push it too often which helps a lot.

I have an '06. Will an intake result in better partial throttle gas mileage for our cars, or does the ECU do a pretty good job adjusting a/f ratio at partial throttle?

Rear toe setting affects range more than I ever expected. I recently had my rear toe reset very low, to .15 degrees total from .5 degrees total. Big swing, I know. The time before, I had asked for 2x .2* and got 2x .25*, this time I asked for 2x .15* and got .15* total.

Anyway, with no other changes I went from getting ~285 miles per tank to 315+. My calculated mileage went from 26-28mpg to 29-31mpg.
