I drive a 92 se VE auto. have NEW: plugs, o2, warpseed ypipe+cat+catback+magnaflow 2 1/2", CAI, ASP lightened pulley.
The last trip I ever took was a 9 hour drive. I think I got 27mpg and I avg about 90mph(turned out to be a 7 1/2 hour trip lol) but haven't gone on a trip for a while.
In the city lately since my bucking problems have been occuring more often I get like 14-16mpg, and thats with a little bit of highway, say 5%. Would think with the free flowing air into the engine and out of the engine, and the lightened pulley would save me on some gas, but it hasn't done too much to it.

I get about 330-350 city drivin with shell gasoline (91 octane), but on BP gas (92 octane) I get around 300-330. I did this for 3 months, half shell and the other half BP to experiment and I got the same results. Kinda weird

Student so mostly in town. 257 was my best because i completely ran out of gas
. It was actually on purpose though. I the funny thing is that my fuel gauge said it was on E @ 200 mile. I usually only get 240's. Isn't very good but its in town. Usually using 89 octane and tend to have a heavy foot. Anyone else seem to have weird readings from gas guage? Cuase i think that definately effects my calc on mpg.

94 SE 5-spd, I get about 400 miles to the tank more or less. I only fill with 91 from 76 stations. I drive very slow but I floor it every now and then so it really depends on how much I floor it

reformulated gas and a 2 mile commute don't help much
