      yes, like i said i get 18 m.p.g consistently unless its in the 3 or 4 coldest winter months when i get 16 consistently. hoping to imnprove that with full exhaust, intake, and msd dis4.
      also, the dis4 is supposed to up a 3.4l by 3 m.p.g. but at nearly 550 new i think with everything that you need. good luck saving money.
      i get 19 every few months i dunno why. im going to change the pcv when i get around to it. cuz gas is getting crazy
      The confusion surrounds me <br />change is imminent<br />if I were they<br />we could be great

        I get no less than 20 in the city, and 30-34 on my way between Cape and Mizzou (3 hour drive). I don't think I have ever gotten less than 300 miles out of a tank. Most of it I give credit to the manual with 3.23 gears, but I'm sure the intake, 3" exhaust and 16" wheels help as well. If I shift at 1800 and coast downhills and a ways before breaking w/o the AC, I have gotten 25mpg in the city. And I'm running up on 100K. Gotta love the bird!
