Wow, I would think a streetport would hurt fuel economy- how is yours getting 26mpg?

My streetport would get 25+ highway, and down to 9mpg city!

Street ports seem to get better mileage on the highway because they're more efficient. Especially if you drive like I do and ignore 5th gear below 85mph.

I once drove my car to work one day 62 miles one way, so 124 round trip it used a little over 3/4 tank of premo gas Of course I did a lil 150mph joyride that day, but anyways, what kinda gas mileage is that, or lack of as the case may be

right now i'm getting about 23-24 MPG (HWY) and that's without an exhaust system ...

have no idea what my city mileage is, but it seems pretty good to me.
