Fuel Economy

Thanks everyone. What initially drew my attention to mpg was my new catbacks tips getting all carboned out after just 1/2 tank , a lot of wots though, testing tune and exhaust. So I started fiddling with the gauge, before I reset it the average said 18.5. I wonder if that was the average of the whole sum of miles I put on the car 4k. After I reset it I could hardly get over 30 mph for the next hour of driving and that's when it was reading 13 mpg ave. sense then I've got to go on the freeway a little more and now my ave is up to 16.6 probably 1/4 to 1/2 tank sense reset

Around town I'm looking at 15-16 and on the highway I'm getting 23-25 depending. All stock. 93 octane.
What I am finding is that I feel that I am getting a hesitation every now and then and if I really get on her I can blow out some black carbon which I feels is clearing things up a bit.

I have 13 model, track package, 17k on clock, instake, exhaust (corsa), LMS 93 octane tune, lowering springs, TSW nuburg (huge weight savings), and 245/45R20 DSW's.

I do about 1200 miles month for work; lot of highway; get around 21-22 mpg. Close to about 400 miles to tank.

When I drove to Texas in November (1600 miles one way) I got 25 mpg with average cruise set at 80mph.

I think the black tips are normal for being tuned.  Mine get pretty dirty in between washes.
