Pretty proud to consistently get 400+ miles a tank in a V8

Thinking about maybe a trunk lip spoiler or just leave it?

95 octane fuel (98 octane will get me slightly better mileage), approx. 70% highway at 85mph and 30% city driving.

I just changed the fuel filter. I am hoping to see in increase in gas mileage.

Oh...so that's why. 91 is max here in California. Must be nice.

Then again, you probably pay a lot more per gallon too.

I did all hwy driving, when i had HKS Hypermax LS coilovers my car did 26mpg on the hwy then with the Tein CS V2, i only got 23mpg on the same hway and same driving style as acceleration and steady hwy speed of 65-75mph (i think it's the alignment issue because the steering wheel is not 100% straight and they said they did the best out of it)
