Econ Mpg??? How much do you get?
i have a 2.2 auto with a aftermarket muffler and home made intake. My question is how many mpg should i get? When I drove carless i was getting 22mpg city and highway. Ever since i started using cruise i worked my way up to 29mpg and i can reeally see a diff in gas! My question is tho will a intake cause me to loose more mpg ??? and is always eunning cruise bad i am kinda getting obssesed using it even on a 40mph road tosave gas

I get about 24-25 on a regular basis in my SS/SC. That's with 60% city and 40% highway I would say. The lowest I get on it is about 22 if I am really getting on it most of the time.
The best I've gotten is about 31 on a road trip (all highway obviously).
BTW cruise control improves gas mileage.

I get 31 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on hwy. I just accelerate a little slowly and have 38 psi in my tires. more secrets can be found on www.gassavers.org/forum.php

cruise control is the best thing since sliced bread for gas saving. i get about 35 mpg when i cruise control at around 65, but go up 15 mph and i get about 29 mpg. city i get like 21 haha. spirited driving/crazy other drivers.

On the highway I never get less than 32mpg. Last trip going out I got 33mpg going 80mph, and coming back I got 38 going 65mph. When I'm home and just buzzing around town I usually hang around 26-27mpg.
