My big ol' Monte Carlo did 305 miles on 13 gallons, it's got a 17 gallon tank so I cold have gotten another 94 miles or so out of it. I never imagined it would be so good on gas, and this was all city driving.

That's nothing

My 1991 Civic Si hb gets about 40mpg since it's so light now at 2080lbs. Then add in aftermarket intake, exhaust, header, battery, pulley and no AC
