My MPG is about 18-19 but it ranges from 16 to 22 depending on how I'm driving that day.
Thats pretty good,keep us updated concerning the plugs,0.30.
Just finished gaping plugs to .030. They were closer to .030 than .035 from the factory. Now they are a tight .030. Also installed my 3 bar and 160* thermostat. No problems so far other than the gas mileage dropping to 14.

Apologize been a little bit under the weather as of late,first of all hopefully you resolved your issue,on my last post asked you for a reason regarding your mpg,cause as of 9/1 we started to use winterblend gas and me personally i'm getting 13.4-14.0 mpg with almost the same tune as you,with the sacrifice of the mpg you should see better performance out of your car compared to before,glad you gapped the plugs at 0.30 the more boost the closer the gap has to be to prevent misfires,spark blowout,predetonation.

With the winter blend gas upon us I'd highly suggest running a 91 tune or boosting the octane with one of the suggested products the gurus have mentioned. My knock readings were pretty bad with the arrival of it.

Hope you get well soon ZSHO.

The only reason I'm at 14 mpg right now is because I have been driving it a bit hard. I'm sure I will still get 18 when I start driving easy again.

I have the same problem. Only happen with wheel spin. If the tires spin to much during the shift it will not complete the shift and stay in first banging off the limiter. I have traction problems. Need stickier tires than the f1's.
