Gas Mileage, What do you get?
I am averaging around town, 14.5 miles/gallon 
Maybe I should buy a DD with a smaller engine to commute.

I'm getting around 24-25 mpg. Compared to my previous car ('97 VW Passat) which got 17 mpg, I'm ecstatic.
But then I remember I have to buy premium gas.

Since I got the new car I'm averaging 22.4ish.
If I run hard for a day, I can go as low as 17.

About 18, mostly city these days. bakaroo, your mileage would probably go down if you could go with a lower grade anyhow.

Hah, mine says 15.9, but that's probably because I just got this car and it's pretty much impossible for me to drive it in a way that lets me get good mileage, lol.  |

Does my mileage sound too low? I don't drive too harschly. My commute to work is 10 miles each way freeway. In the morning there is no traffic and in the afternoon, I hit rush hour, stop and go. Ever since I got the throttle bodies, software and the HFM, the torque seemed to increase a lot and then my foot became heavier.
I have tried to drive sedately around town especially. I am having my car dynoed in July, maybe I will have it tuned too.
