Ahhh!!
Let's not talk about Long Island!!!
I went with these two girls yesterday to Montauk!!
THAT IS THE EDGE OF LI!!!
nearly 150miles away..
Was there for 5minutes than SPED my *** off into the CITY for class..
EASTTTT TO WESTTTTTTT
It was a crazyyy drive..fun -- but exhausting!
Exit 60 is far!
I'd be down for a mini meet around Exit 30-40 (Ikea lot)
Back to mileage...I've been getting incredible highway mileage...So I'm considering the possibility of just simply having too much stop and go traffic like Cliff suggested...
I used some techron again, and have been primarily been doing highway driving to really work that cleaner into the injector...
As I mentioned earlier..abt the Check engine light..I am going to wait abt 1 or 2 more fillings and if there is still a problem I hope I get a check engine light on for the O2s or MAF.
If not I'm definitely going with what Shocker reccomended with the Fuel Injection Cleaning and the Decarb.
So lets get THIS MINI MEET GOING!!!!!
1. Tantra
2. Excluesive
3. Rock-A-Lex
4. TommyJaix
5. we should make a seperate post for this, lol

Did you change these wires? If so that must have been damn expensive getting those from Lexus.
... I wish i was getting that, I average about 240/tank ... I just got my 45k and fuel injection services done this past weekend so hopefully that will help a little 
... That's probably why my mileage sucks so bad ... Traffic here in the MIA is crazy

i get 370(mostly highway)-275(city), when the light comes on, so i guess i can still make 410 easily, but i also have 18" all weather tires, noticed a huge gain in milege when took off my iforged 20" off for the winter used to get 290(highway) and the light would come on. also have intake exhaust and tc..so i guess not bad numbers.

I usually go 260 to 320 between fill ups, depending on how much highway driving I do. In your spot, I would:
1) Check tire pressure. You would be amazed how much difference a few pounds of air makes.
2) Check the air filter. If it's a K&N and you don't remember the last time you cleaned it, clean it.
3) Have someone check the trouble codes.
4) Clean the MAF.
5) Be sure you are running 91 octane fuel. The car will run on regular, but the computer retards the timing to eliminate spark knock caused by too low octane in a high compression engine. Retarded timing is a fuel mileage killer.
6) Don't haul around anything heavy. At around 4000 lbs, they are heavy enough.
I noticed around 2 MPG less mileage with the Pwr switch set.

sorry!! I was a little tired when I posted.. I went to change coil packs until I saw the price!! I've changed the tranny fluid, and rearend fluids too.... Also ran that engine flush through 2x in a row, which I did not really notice much in terms of get up and go, but I did notice the mpg went up about .8 mpg ever since I did that...

Lol, This thread was brought back
I have an update on my situation...
Turned out that one of vaccum hoses was disconnected...I noticed it when I was installing my SRT. I noticed a lot more power gain and better mileage..
BUT...It is still not that great...
I drive with a heavy foot..but now..
I get about 200 miles per filling...I think it comes out to be about 11-12mpg =( .. Still sucks!!!
