95 SE 5 speed MT. Routinely get between 25-30 mpg and between 400-470 miles per tank. I cracked the 500 miles per tank mark once. Always use 91 octane. CAI, knock sensor replacment and under-drive pulley are only mods on engine so far.

My gas mileage is all over the place, mainly because my driving varies. I went about 250 miles doing 80% highway on a half of a tank or 25 mpg a few weeks ago, however I religiously drive on about 1/2 a tank a week and get about 150-170 miles on the 1/2 tank (17ish mpg) driving 90% city. Not only is this 90% city but I shift above 4000 rpms about 20% of the time.

In other words, I could get 400+ in the city and 500+ on the highway, its just I love drving the max to its potential when I can.

97 SE, Stock. Bone Stock Heavy Foot.

Hmm. With my old setup:
Blow bottom bolt bearing, transmission with no 4th gear. overdrive was stuck on. and just about every single sensor bad..

just a little over 9MPG city. (don't ask about highway.)

[I would highly recomend this setup for teh skilled driver ONLY)

With new setup:
Bran new engine with 9k miles on it. Bran new transmission with 9k miles on it. overdrive fixed. and every single sensor replaced

28MPG city, (highway, idk yet. havn't done it, been to snowy and crappy out to go try that one.)

32 mpg!

I just made a trip from Sioux Falls to St Paul....

72 mph most of the way.

295 miles @ 9.1 gallons of Shell 91 octane= 32.4 mpg. I filled up when I left and filled up when I arrived in St Paul. Damn that's my best ever.
