Averaged 15.7, over 23,000 miles. Best was 19.7, worst 12.4. This includes 10,000 miles with 34" tires and rims, which causes a 17% drop in mileage. With stock tires, the average would have been closure to 16.7? Anyway selected 16.

I consistently get between 14 and 15. All city driving. No highway. I probably get over 18 on the hwy, but don't remember the last time I took one. I prefer the back roads!

I'm at 4500 miles and I average 17. The best I have done was a 3 hour round trip and that was 21.7. Best advise I have read was easy on the gas as to not let the RPM get over 2000 much or for long. You do accelerate slower but it is possible.

Hmm. I forgot I had done that. Maybe that's why I'm getting such poor mileage. But 3mpg loss! Wow.

I get between 17 and 18 with a mix of city and highway driving. Stock tires. wheels and gears.

With the low back pressure from the cat back exhaust I can hold a 60mph cruise at 1600 RPM's.. That has helped a bunch with increasing MPG's..
