It all just depends on how you drive. I get anywhere between 15-29 mpg on my highway trips

Is it a glitch but I just got on too reply an 2 or 3 of yal guys had my Prof. Pic as yals too

Yep just a glitch.

Honestly I wouldn't be to worried about gas mileage in cars like ours. Mine fluctuates with my mood. I can go through a quarter tank on a nice cool night with no traffic in about 3 stoplights. Not racing of course just opening it up. I mean a Honda has 4 cylinders an gets 30 MPG we have 8 an get 15. Haul *** get 10 shift at 2k get 18 or just drive on the highway

When I'm just cruising to work or what not ill do 2k shifts but dnt usually shift to 5th (speed limit 45) so I stay in 4th until bout 50 to keep a nice peppy feel. 4th at 50mph on mine is 2000 rpm stock gear an you still have passing power an good gas mileage

My Stock 2000 GT made 225 rwhp and ran 14.08@99.

Before the SC I made 241 rwhp with a full Magnaflow catted X exhaust, 70mm FR Tbody and BBK Cold Air.
It ran 13.85@101. Gas mileage was 23 city/27 highway.

After the SC I made 381 rwhp and ran 12.5@111. Gas mileage is 23 city/27 highway.
yesterday I drove to the Indy race in Birmingham and back, 165 miles on half a tank.

I almost always get 24-25 mpg in mixed driving. The worst I have ever averaged was 11 mpg open tracking at Barbers.

Glad I could be of some help. Keep in mind too that engine breaking will also eat up gas pretty quick. Cool when pulling up next to a fartburner or whatever those Honda's call themselves but not always necessary every time

I have 3.90 gears and still get 18 city and 26 highway. The mod motor is pretty efficient even at high revs.
