    yea joe i hear you.. a lot is driving style/area.. my mods are intake and muffler.. plus i have a light rack.. but other than that nothing else.. i was getting 300-350 when i first bought it.. then dropped to like 250... at one point i was averaging 12mpg living near the city.. since moving out of the city i average about 15.. just by being throttle conscious i have gotten up to 16

    try replacing your fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter.. the two together will cost about a tank of gas and should be good for 1-2mpg difference even if yours arent totally shot

    Topping off

    gets you further on a tank but no difference in mpg. I think we hav an 18 gallon tank but some here report pumping 20 gallons in when empty. That 2 gallons can mean an extra 30 miles and how far do you let the tank get to empty before filling can be another dozen or two miles.

    For some reason, I thought we had a 21 gallon gas tank. I remember it being the same volume as my RX7 which is 21. I know my last fill up was a hair over 20 gallons (on fumes), prior to that, it was 19.2.

    we have a 22.5 gallon tank.. ive filled up with as much as 21 gallons before.. topping off will actually decrease your fuel economy sometimes..

    filling the neck of your gastank will get charcoal from the charcoal canister into your gas.. and its downhill from there
