Your gas mileage?

Ok guys, I was wondering on your gas mileage is. I went from Charlotte to Virginia Beach, filled up, drove back, and still had gas in the tank. I noticed, so I started to drive conservatively. I ended up driving 465 miles on one tank. Filled her up, 12.5 gallons.



37.2 MPG! I couldnt believe it! isnt our cars only spoosted to get about 30?

in my p5 I recorded a lot of 34mpg city days.... I had a header, intake, cams and haltech. If I babied it I did real good. If I romped on it I sucked.

I bet the haltech helped a lot there, but for the cost it would never save you any money.
