wow..thats insanely good. from my experience it takes about 6 gallons of fuel to it it to the half mark, and that means your getting almost 40 miles to the gallon.:o

i usually get about 170ish miles with the same amount of fuel, no mods, but a 300 lb sound system.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

How about 18-20 mpg on a stage iv fuel system. It sucks big time. I guess that's the price I have to pay for wanting more horsepower emoji

I adveraged high 20's mpg with just saround town. Above 30 on highway trips. Dad got 40mpg on a vacation with her once before I bought her from him. Needless to say that was in stock trim.

My mileage since the cams isn't as good. But I haven't checked my average since they were installed yed. Plus they are still being tuned.

how the hell are you guys getting so much gas mileage on a tank of gas? I get about, if i'm lucky around 240 miles on a tank.

I guess there must be something wrong. What should I check?

If there isn't any gas leak, check out your upstream O2 sensor. A bad O2 sensor will cause the ecu to "turn on" the "safe mode," resulting in a richer fuel system. Also, have you done a good tuneup? A fresh set of plugs and an oil change sometimes helps with fuel economy; check your tire pressures. It also depends on your driving habit. If you leave the line fast (most of the time) your fuel economy will suffer, too.

Damn you guys get shitty mileage.Premium fuel seems to make a difference for me, i went from 350~370 miles per tank to just over 400, and I don't drive very conservatively.

Best ever for me was 445 to a tank. After coming back from the so cal meet today I got 412, and 12.24 gallons filled it back up. I've noticed better mileage too ever since I got my magnaflow cat back

I always got like 25-27 and thats mostly city driving. How can you Stage IV's complain about 18-20? Let's see, 300+ and complaints on 18-20 mpg. My project car is going to get about 12. Of course, your stage IV's are not running high 11's like I will be...
