2000 SC300 w/ K&N drop in.

50/50 City Hwy (on average)

22mpg city and 27mpg hwy

Most I've gotten out of a tank as of late was 70% hwy and squeezed out 410 miles!

I spend about $60 to fill her up every 12 days or so. Im happy!!

The best I've ever acheived in my car was nonstop highway driving for 400+ miles and got an overall of around 25mpg. I've gotten as low as 14mpg with 100% NYC traffic driving.

When my car was NA, I'd get around 350-360 miles a tank(city/hwy) and a little over 400 miles a tank just driving on the highway.

Now that I'm NA-T(tuned), I average about 330-340 a tank hitting boost sometimes.

What is your secret to getting 25.5mpg going that fast?! My ride is same year and 155k miles, 5spd and best I've seen is barely over 22mph going that fast on highway?!

I routinely get 21-23 mpg mostly city driving. Y'all got to learn to keep your foot out of it, not that I don't get on mine occasionally. Besides, I bought it for the style and comfort, and that is worth an additional 20 mpg, in my opinion.
