Default What gas milage to expect

What are some of you getting with Gas milage with the 2.3. I have the dual plug version and I get around 21 MPG. But then mine is a convertible and it's packing more weight. Just like to know if this is normal??

24-27 in mixed driving. The difference is the A/C. I drop 3 mpg if I run the A/C.

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster
