im not sure about tank but im running about 22 miles per gallon with a HKS exhaust and popcharger. Surprisingly, the HKS made my gas mileage higher.

I average about 250-270, I have JWT TT built engine and exhaust. It really depends on how much stop and go you do and how much freeway. I drove out to Willow Springs over the weekend and I got almost 400 miles to the tank.....all freeway.

Well, you must be some kind of engineer/computer guy to do all that math. All I know is I wish I got more out of a tank of gas, but I guess you can't have power and gas mileage....

Hahah, you must be directing that to me.

Yes, I am an engineer and it's only simple math. I always write down the miles and gal on the back of receipt to see how far I go on a tank. I only do this for my interests and guage which station has "better" gas.

One a side note I managed only 130 mi @ 16 gal which comes out near 8mpg when i was at buttonwillow.

The math was directed at Farenheit, I know him so I thought I would give him a hard time. As far as the track goes, I was at Cal Speedway and I did two runs on half a tank, I would guess it was about 50 miles......not sure?

Doesn't surprise me. What's that? Like 5-6 mpg. But then again, starting your car is an immeadiate 1 gal right there... lighting a match near your exhaust tips will make a fireball.

I like it! I know that I drove from coln Nebraska to here(Mission Viejo) on two tanks of gas and I averaged about 95 MPH.....the car stock gets great gas mileae on the highway....stock that is.

I was actually surprised that the TT doesn't affect it that much unless you pound the SH*T out of it.

Farenheit, You coming to the meet or what? I need to get a final number by this weekend so I can reserve the track. Let me know, anyone else interested look at the thread for OC Meet in this section and sign up.

Mine is mixed city and highway.

However, when I'm cruising around on surface streets I usually am in 5th (~35 mph) gear and I don't stomp on it from a stop every time. Also, I don't rev past ~4K rpm.

My mpg didn't really change after the fuel hose recall, either.
