    Just got done with my tank of gas, about 60/40 city/hwy driving, got 340 miles before filling up, took 14 gallons, works out to 24 mpg... not bad. I changed out the Air/Fuel filters, Plugs, wires and seafoamed. Still need to throw new Mobil 1 5W-30 in there, oil filter and the PCV valve. Oh, my mileage sucked until I fixed the PCV line going to the passenger-side valve cover, you might want to check all your lines...

            Torque converter clutch - locks up your TC. 95-00 cars have a problem with a valve leak that prevents it from locking up. You'll know it either by highway RPM (2000-2200 @65 is normal for 3.08-3.42 gears, if it's significantly more than that in Overdrive it's not locking up) or getting a P1870 and the neck-snapping shifts.

              I get about 275 per tank with a ram-air kit, whisper lid and K&N air filter. It actually improved by 20 MPT after the upgrades, so I was actually getting about 250. UGHH!

                I get around 375-400 miles per tank. I drive in all city. I just drive to 45 let go of the gas and the rpms drop and locks up and get back on the gas so its at ~1250rpm at 45 and accelerating.
