    Doesn't the SuperCharger have much to do with that?

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    I have consistently gotten worse mpg since the wheels and tires (my wheels are HEAVY.... 27lbs IIRC). S/C didn't seem to change that for the better or worse. It also gets gassed up about once a month and driven mostly on Sundays. Who knows how much gas the garage gremlins siphon out of it.

    Pretty sad when my tuned (roughly 345hp now), turbocharged STi can get about 350 on a full 16gal tank (with about a gal or two to spare). 4 banger FTW!

    I get about 250 per tank highway with my 3in lift and pro comp wheels wrapped in 33's. Long trips = Frequent stops.

    I'm dead consistant at 16mpg. I don't bother worrying about a fill up until my trip meter is at 320.
