Yes, I got 30.4 MPG on the 320 mile trip from Myrtle Beach, SC back to Virginia. The trip home isn't really hilly and I ran 5 MPH over the speed limit (65-70 MPH) with the AC on.

I got 32 MPG on a similar trip when I had the 2.73 gears in the car. Does your car have a tune on it? My car got better gas mileage running the 93 Race tune than it did with the stock tune.

My car was bone stock at the time. I so badly want gears and a tune but I'm afraid to void the warranty. Does the tune make that big of a difference?

The tune really helps with the drive by wire throttle feel and gives the car a much better overall snappiness. Is your car an automatic or manual? The tunes also help with the shifting on the automatics from what I have heard (can't say fore sure since mine is a manual).

It's a manual. That sounds good, I really hate the throttle lag between shifts so I was hoping there'd be a way to get rid of that.

Have you thought about playing the radio while running? It's been said that blasting the radio creates an ohm standard that causes weightless speakers.

:lol:

Looks like it's on big & littles, right?

Power shifting can't be good for the car. ;)

It was on Race Star 17x4.5 and 17x9.5 wheels. Power shifting is what nets your best ET's!

Congrats on 12's. The tune does make a huge difference on the auto v6 with shift points and throttle repsonse. With the BAMA 93H tune and 2.73's, I averaged 34 MPG on a trip from Jacksonville FL to Sterling Heights MI.
