Most of your bad mpg's come from taking off. With that said take off slower or don't give it so much gas from the line. Increase your following distance, look ahead for brake lights from the cars ahead as well as red lights. Try to drive with out hitting the brakes at all. I know thats impossible but if your looking far enough ahead you can let off the go peddle and coast more. Most people I drive with are on the gas until they hit the brake pedal, not much coasting. Who's tune are you running? What mods do you have?

BAMA hybrid tune. only mods are k & n, shorties, dual exhaust, stock cats, GT mufflers. I think I have the "better" plug wires off of American Muscle if that makes any difference lol
