I filled up my tank yesterday. I had 154.2 miles on the trip guage and I put in 7.659 gallons in. Jeff said I should be getting better gas mileage. Last week when we calculated it I was getting about 30 mpg but that was unusual. Each week I calculate the mileage and it usually averages about 23 mpg. I try to use the cruise when on the hwy to save gas. I would say 95% of my driving is hwy. Out of a 46 mile day only 8 miles is city driving. Maybe my O2 sensor??

Believe it or not, my SSEi gets about 2mpg better than my bone-stock 95 when I cruise the exact same route 5mph faster in the SSEi than the SLE.
Nearly every mod I've done to the SSEi has added efficiency as well as power.

You have a good point, but my average fuel economy on the SSEi only went up 1mpg with the VERY well-built balls-out performance tranny and ALOT of work on the top end of the motor.
