some of you guys are getting 25 mpg??? ****, I never got close to that, even on 90% interstate driving. I'd get 20-21 tops.

Depending on the season:
Winter: 18-19 around town, 24-25 highway.
Summer: 20-21 around town, 25-27 highway.
Though this year seems very good as on the last tank, I beat my car for around town but managed 27 overall (did 10-20 miles of beating on the side streets, the rest highway). Though I'm sure once I get the cash to put my 3.73s in, this will change.

To easily calculate mileage, this is what I do:
Top off the tank, and reset your trip odometer. Once you hit 1/4 of a tank left, divide your trip mileage by 10. For my car, I find that when the gauge reads 1/4 left, I've used 10 gallons (approx.).

10.82 MPG (145 Miles/13.4 Gallons) - I can't remember how much highway and city was in that, that was last.
10.38 MPG (141 Miles/13.6 Gallons) - This was just recently, after fill up today. Pretty sure mostly city, maybe a mile or two of Highyway.
GEEZ that's really bad. :/

Last time I took a long trip, I got 25mpg on the highway. That was cruising around 75mph with the occasional romp. Thats with the supercharger and everything else. Around town it's not so bad, but I don't even bother calculating since I switch from city to highway driving too much. If I do a mix of both, I'm around 16-19mpg.

I know and my SUV gets better, which is very sad.
I don't even know why it's like that, I have no bolt ons. Just removing stuff. I guess it needs a tune. :/
