my co-worker says when his tires are low he gets like 25-30 miles less out of a tank of gas. I don't know how accurate this is, but if it is, i am defiantly checking my tires daily

Thanks for the advice KS. I went past the gas station and apparently my electronic pressure gauge is faulty; it was reading around 36 psi, and I checked the tires with a new gauge, and the tire pressure was under 30 psi for every tire!
I just returned from vacation. I set the tripometer at the pump and after running 240 miles on the first leg of the trip i had just used a hair over half a tank, I think that comes out to around 30MPG it was all highway and I only ran A/C during the popup rainstorms since I had to roll up the windows. Average speeds were anywhere between 70-90 MPH ... gotta love that 5th gear

I'm only getting 14 mpg city with a CAI, underdrive pullies and dual exhaust and I've been driving conservatively to try and get better mileage but it's not working
14 is pretty low. the only time i got anywhere close to that was the first week that i had my mustang i was flooring it all the time and driving fast and i was getting 16

I have the exact same set up as you with the exhaust and about to add the CAI next week. Does the CAI make that big a difference cuz Im only getting 240 for my whole tank.

I don't know what how some of you are calculating your MPG but I just don't see anything over 24 and that's mostly hwy. I drive pretty conservetively most the time otherwise it drops to 18.
I get 22 average with my mods. Won't be as good when I get my 3.73's installed next week though.
