Mileage improving
Finally broke out of 17+ mpg on a trip. Got 19.6 and actually saw V4 on level road at 65 mph. Just turned 6,500 mi. Maybe it's finally getting broke in.

RE: Mileage improving
Mine was starting to do that late last fall, then winter fuel arrived here in MI and my average dropped close to20%. This spring it never seemed to come back completely to what it was starting climb up to late last fall when it was18+ at 75MPH and 15.5-16 in town -right now I'm averaging 14.5-15, during the winter I was at 12.5-13 and last fall had indeed broken into the low 16's. Driving habits have not changed. Approaching 20K miles and figure I'm stuck with the dismal MPG's.

RE: Mileage improving
I only have 1500 miles on mine and I see the 4 at 65/75 MPH but I'M only getting 11 MPG (city), Is this still right that I'M getting poor gas mileage?

Haven't made any more trips yet. Going to try putting the Superchips program back in and see what it does also. Also gotta get the catback off the garage floor and installed on the truck.

Are you seeing V4 at 75 on level or just downhill? What gears do you have?
If any consolation, I only get 12-13 in town but mostly stop & go. I think most of my round trips are uphill both directions. [8D]
