I'm getting about 17.5 mpg now, which keeps climbing up after every fill up. Not great, but you can't put a price tag on the fun you have with that gallon of gas!

Glad to here the real world chime in. My meter always stays around 11. My gas light comes on around 160 miles and It usually takes about 15 gal to fill it up. Now my odometer is off because of the 35" tires but that still only figures to about 12 or so. I live in a hilly section of town.

Im about the same. Around 160 miles I have to fill up. I only have 33s. Maybe you have more hills around you! Anyways, my gas mileage blows. Now if I could figure out a way to get 20mpg I could spend more on mods and parts!
