Sorry you're mileage sucks dick Jason. Try calculating it correctly, you might be a little happier.

Well as a general consensus no body trusts thes the gas gauge so i will try what icemark and the other guy said. Im going to fill up the tank and record the averages of the 3-4 times, and see waht i come up with.

I didnt want to start a gas war now lol.

Would getting a MSD or High Crane 6 help with better gas mileage since it has multiple sparks? Im assuming it would but would, but would the gains for price of the MSD or Crane be worth it.

safc or megasquirt would help for sure. I believe tofuball is getting almost 30 mpg on his megasquirt setup.

When I added a crane cams hi-6 to my leading coil it improved my miles per gallon somewhere between 1 and 2. Basically that could easily mean it takes between 20 and 30 fillups for the price to be worth it - So i suppose after two years, I've made mine worthwhile.

The msd/hi-6 should also make your torque curve smoother. I haven't paid for the dyno to see this as true yet.

Butt dyno says no real horsepower increase.

wow, have you guys tried new O2 sensors and spark plugs and wires? Im getting 290 miles per 13.xx gallons of gas, with a slight 11% fuel correction on my safc, going to 1% at 6k rpms. I also have a Racing beat header and presilencer running to stock catback, a slipping clutch, and constantly drive it like I stole it, only driving moderately till shes warm.
