I haven't reset my mpg gauge since I bought my car. After 6,8xx miles it's around 20.1 mpg. That's including city, highway, stop and go traffic, racing... the whole nine yards.

No photos of the gauge displaying mpg... since they won't provide any real information.

In town I get 20 to 25 mpg (depending upon how I drive the car).

Highway driving for my 2003 Performance model delivers 28 to 30 mpg. The best I've seen is 32 mpg, and the worst is 25.

On the 1st pic I tanked her up and reset the trip odometer, and drove 36 miles in the city (avg speed 26mph) and got 29.8mpg. After about 200+ miles I couldn't take it any more and had to open her up and mpg dipped to 27.7 (2nd pic).



A while back I kept 29.6mpg for over 250 miles in the city...all in all it's in the way you drive.

You have to start off really slowly from a stop, accelerate gently to about 2000 RPMs and shift gears. If the speed limit is 45, drive at 40mph in 5th or drive close to 50 in 6th (keeping revs down). If you see a red light in front of you, approach it as if you were trying to "catch the next wave", basically keeping it in gear and using engine braking as much as you can. This will guarantee you 27+mpg in the city as long as you're not in a daily ongoing stop & go traffic...

You have to clean out your blow of value to get better mileage. The ball stuck in your exhaust also needs to go in deeper in the exhaust as it will act like a turbine bouncing around forcing more air in. Try that and see if that might help you...
