Really good gas mileage
Since i'm taking my car on an 850 mile road trip to denver (moving) i decided to see how my gas mileage is on the highway. I mad the 200 mile drive to my dads and only used half a tank of fuel! That means i'm getting about 25 miles to the gallon (assuming that half the tank is 8 gallons).
I recnetly changed the fuel filter and the O2 sensor, you guys might want to give it a shot if you're getting bad gas mileage. Oh, and i have an SAFC and while driving at 80mph it reads a change of -6.2. That's probably helping too.

that's about as good as they get stock. Some lean it out some with an S-AFC, considering the N/A runs a little rich stock so you can yet gain some there.

Well the car isn't completely stock. It has no cats and cone intake...i'm sure i could lean it out more but it's not tuned so i fear blowing something. 25 mpg is good enough for me.
