Are you asking for average MPH, or MPG, I think you're asking for MPG. There have been quite a few threads on this topic, you'll find quite a few if you search. Check out this one though.

Damn why am I getting 19mpg half highway/half city? Sometimes I shortshift under 2000rpms or i'll do the 1-3-5 shift, still doesn't pull up the mpg. I guess it's the price to play.

backagain, do you remember your MPG before you put on the intake and exhaust?

i get 18mpg, how sorry is that! just about 50/50 on city/highway. I shift at 2-2.5 and sometimes 3rpm if i need to cut lanes or something. Highest gear in the city is 5th and highest is 6th in highway.

My mods are intake, exhuast, hi-flos but even with those mods on my gas has no dropped, its always been the same when it was stock too.

Anyone want to chime in why my car acts this way? Oh, i do live in a realitivly hilly city (sf, ca)

yeah i'm getting about 19 mpg city... hwy is around 21mpg. I think its pretty good for a 3.5 V6. My friend with an Evo is only getting 15mpg. and thats a 2.0 4-banger

for those who have lower mpg.. try resetting the counter. Mine was stuck at 14mpg one time until I resetted it and then it went up to 18mpg
