Come on Sharkie. How come the rest of us can't even get near 20mpg. 16.5
is considered excellent by most of us.

Could it be possible that I'm getting better mileage because I drive a stick and most others drive automatics?
I also don't take off as fast as I used to, I use cruise control on the highway, and I coast up to stop signs and lights in neutral.

I'm getting a solid 17 with 22" Liquid metals and a matching spare. But I do have the K&N cold air intake kit. But I dont drive like my grandma either... Im fact racing cars is fun.... especially when you can keep up or beat most stock cars out there.... so 17 mpg is the best I get...

I get ~12-14. city or highway doesn't make much difference. My alignment is also off and my tires are 32psi, so that doesn't really help my quest for the greenest machine out there. Biggest difference I've made is I stopped paying attention to my MPG & just drive a little slower and actually make use of cruise control when I'm not on the highway.

LMAO those cars probably aren't racing.... the hummer is a dog if you're looking for a remotely fast truck. I took mine to the race track, it was between me and a crapped out old pontiac sunfire and a 4cyl chevy s10 that did a pegleg burnout for about 100 feet for teh slowest car of the night.
