Gas Mileage

Hey everyone,

I was wanting to start a thread where you could post your best gas mileage (including type of driving) along with your list of performance mods.

I just got 28.5 MPG (mostly on the interstate)
I have an AEM CAI and a Borla cat-back exhaust

Thanks,

psycho

I think my best evar was 24. That was still during the break-in period with quite a few 30-minute interstate trips. I live in Hawaii so it's hard to get on the 'open road' since there really isn't any. Normally I get 18-19... but I have a lead foot

I still can't believe my mileage is so low.
Did anyone's mileage increase after a while?
I've got 6k miles on it.
