I just recently finished about a 300 mile run down I-95
Where just to keep up with the traffic one has to stay just slightly above 80 MPH, even with getting on it a few times, fastest about 135, I managed 23.5 miles to the gallon.

When I first got the car I was getting an average of 14-14.5 mpg. After I gave her a tune up I got, and still get 16 mpg. That's around town and the commute to work on the highway about 10 miles. I can't complain about 16 mpg at all. It sounds funny, but that is way better gas economy over my last vehicle. (I had a jeep wrangler lifted up on 35's thornbirds!) In the jeep I got 10 mpg!

Around town when gas was above 3 bucks = 17-18 MPG. When gas prices are under $2.50 TWELVE MPG
On road trips if I keep it below 90 26-30 MPG. My car is pretty efficient if I can keep my right foot off of the floor.
My around town milage has gotten better since my 2.59-3.45 rear end swap; however, I lost a little highway milage.
