Wow... pushing the car is the only way I could ever get that mileage...

Well count yourselves lucky, I've hit 210 on 18Gal after I got it tuned, once...
And in the City I'm lucky if I break 130mi / 18 Gal...
FD = Average to Below average for the power it delivers.
Modded FD = Gas Collander.... just a stopgap to the exhaust.

I guess I'm the first to get lucky enough to get 9-10 MPG...
I don't know why, but lately I've been getting really bad gas mileage. I get like 155-160 miles to a full tank of gas...

i'm all stock and i just hit the best i've ever gotten. 310 on a tank and i still have gas left! just waiting till that light comes on and i have 18 gal to put in it.
The range of mileage numbers different people get always amazes me.
I just got 11 MPG on my last tank of mostly city driving and not pushing it much. I also recently did a careful highway mileage test and got 22 MPG. Track days used to get 5-6 MPG, but it will probably be less now since I am running larger injectors.

big single, big street port, 850 primary, 1300 secondary, idles @ 1000 RPM w/11.5:1 AFR

I get about 14 mpg if I only drive in the city, but city driving can mean a lot of things, it really depends on how much traffic there is. Obviously if you sit around idling in traffic all day you won't get good mileage. I recently made a trip from LA to Santa Cruz, one tank each way, got over 400 miles per tank! I calulated, 23mpg both ways, new personal record. I think a downpipe actually nets 1-2mpg.
mine's stock and i get on average 18~20 mpg. but my tank has been replaced by the previous owner and i suspect it's not the same size as the stock tank 'cuz even when the gauge needle's real low a fillup is only about 15~16 gallons
18~20 ain't too bad for a serious sports car methinks
