how many gallons of gas did you use to get that mileage? Is that mileage just until the light came on or a full tank of gas? My light usually comes on after using about 10gallons of gas. Full tank is 13.5. I get on average 32mpg with my automatic. If your mileage is closer to the 10gallon mark, props.

Highest I've gotten is 424, but ever since I installed my intake I've been accelerating harder because I like the sound. Now I only get about 380. =/

hmm i should try that. How do you know for sure if the mileage is really that much. Anyone can do that by using more than one tank then reseting. I ono, but I really cant trust that without better proof. However, Im going to try myself. I also have a 5spd and Im going to keep it at 5th all the time and see how much i get..

That's good mileage, but probably no the best. I've gotten 290 on a half tank before, freeway miles. I never let the gas drain all the way down though. And i'm certain that mine's not the best mileage. I've heard stories in the past of members reaching 500, barely.

wow, i would never get that close to 400. Im lucky if i get 24 miles to the gallon. But then again, all i have is a modifed exhaust, lightened flywheel and sports clutch. i use to have an intake but i took that off 20,000 miles ago (damn CHP) and now have 54,000 miles. even with my stock sounding exhaust (both of my exhuast pass smogged by the way) i can only get 28 mpg on average. must be all these damn hills. sucks living in the hills, but you get a nice echo esp at night.

Same here. Since I moved to FL and only do city driving, I'm lucky to get 27mpg with all the shitty traffic lights down here...I was averaging 34mpg in MA

I only get between 260-280 to a full tank, but I do almost all city driving.
The most I have ever got was 325 to a full tank
