there is alot of factors do you use regular or premium, altitude has alot to do with it, terrain ( hilly or flat), synthetic oil or regular oil, do you have size 13 feet or size 7,is your girlfriend big or small, are you big or small, do you haul kids or no, how about a dog? what kind of tires do you have? is your front factory or is it leveled, do you drive with the sunroof open or closed,i could go on for a while but you get the idea.

I get 14.6mpg on average for about 290 on the light. I live at 5600' (+/-). That might have something to do with my milege. I have just under 5000miles in the odo.

You want a head scratcher then figure this out. Brand new I got 15 mpg. Added a Airaid CAI and Gibson cat-back. Jumped to 18 mpg. A few months later I blew the exhaust manifold (first the dealer had heard of) and since then I am getting garbage. Right now I would kill for 14 or 15 mpg. I'm averaging about 12.5 and on occasions get as low as 10. That's all the same driving (50/50 split city and highway), at the same altitude, and the same accelerating/speed/braking etc... So far, the dealer says the computer tell them that everything is fine and I'm stuck at 12 mpg.

I guess I'm on the low end at 13.8 mpg. with 50/50 highway/city and 16.2 all highway. It'sbeen consistentover the last10 fills.
That's alsowitha PCM tune and a K&N filter (no CAI). I'm thinking the PCM tune may be contributing to the lower mileage 'cause I told Kelly Iwould likemore high end torque (occasionally towing a boat). Or it may be my sportscar foot... not sure.

I am getting 13.5-13.8 mpg . Had it in the shop twice, was told after break-in (5000 miles) they would relook at it. Still not getting any better with just under 5000 miles .. I got better mpg with my full size truck ....

Just drove over 700 miles this week up to central FL and backon 2 tanks of gas - (each filled when onempty). The 2nd one I forgot my gas light was on and kept driving around until I finally looked down and saidOH SH*T I forgotand coasted (on fumes I am sure LOL)into the gasstation at 350 miles driven.
