Mods and Gas Mileage

I think it would be interesting to have some people post here with the modifications they have done to their car and the resulting gas mileage. There have been a lot of conversations about whether or not modifications add or decrease MPG. Also, with the mileage, try to think about whether your foot has gotten 'heavier' since you got that intake, because that may be the reason for a decrease in gas mileage. I was mainly wondering if anyone has noticed an increase as drastic as the one I have. Maybe we can see a trend if enough people add. Anyway, here goes nothing:

2002 EX coupe, manual trans, k&n FIPK II, Magnaflow cat-back, Megan Racing header, lowered 1.5"

Gas Mileage: 34 city, 40 highway

Since your speedo is off like 4% due to your tires, are you taking that into consideration?
