Question for you guys.
I use 91 octane gas to fill my 2005 GT and this Friday, right before a trip to San Diego, I fueled up just before making my way onto the on ramp to test my gas mileage.
I drove the 80 mile freeway trip averaging 80 MPH with the RPMs slightly over the 2K mark with cruise control on 90% of the time. If I needed to use the gas pedal, it was smooth and very consistent to try and be as efficient as possible.
I averaged just over 21 MPGs. That seems kind of low. Am I getting low mileage or is that just the way it is?

Taps 
There are three places I'd go to before Taps. Yard House and BJ's are right next to Taps, Hero's is closer to where we'll be. All are within 10 minutes, tops of each other.
1) Hero's 100+ beers on tap.
2) Yard House 200+ beers on tap about 500ft north of Taps
3) BJ's Brewery. I can't help it. I love the BJ's Blonde.
Pros
Heroes good, plenty of brew, local pub feel. Pretty good grub
Yard House, beer of every type for everyone and then some. Eye candy wasn't bad last I went
Bj's Blonde AND they have an impressive selection of Belgian beer. Food is A+ for me too
Cons
Heroes crowded quickly, service can suck at times
Yard House, artsy, fancy plates of food.
BJ's VERY LOUD. can get to that bowling place type LOUD.
Taps Beer mediocre at best. Food is just OK, nothing spectacular to write home about.
Either way any of these are WAY better than Taps IMO. I'll do Taps if that's everyone's choice.

tom281, Hey have you installed a air/oil separator ? I'm looking to do the moroso/Stef's unit and I kinda have an idea of what to get or do. The whole "an" 10 or 12 size thing confuses me though. That and looking in the engine bay I have NO idea where the heck to put this thing. There isn't much room on the drivers side anymore.
Pretty sure this is my next "mod" then gauges in the next couple of weeks. Probably order the SOS 2-gauge pillar pod this week.
And to answer your question from about 10-pages ago... NO I haven't taken it to the track yet since the Whipple has been put on. I'm taking baby-steps to insure that I get all my ducks in a row before I do. Probably overkill, but I'm hard headed.

Did I respond to your PM ?? I think I did but can't really remember to be honest. I'd blame it on the vacation beer/margarita haze but then not sure anyone would believe me, no pics...

Hopefully they pull it off Tomorrow that way they can rest until the 5th of June.
Nice beer conversations, and Ian, that beach looks amazing!
But.. here comes the Taco party pooper...
No more MMR updates, I'm sick of it all.
Long story short, they found 2 pistons that the coating has started to flake off, obviously from a bad prep or contamination. They were going to send the 2 bad ones to a different coater, but I told them to send all 8.. duh! They were all coated at the same time, so the whole batch has been compromised.
At this point, I'm not making anymore pipedream dates on when it'll be ready.
