Thanks for the replys so far guys. Im currently about 1/2 way through my work day (based on milage only) and Im at 101 miles and 5.13 gallons so 19.7mpg. I think my starter "issuse" is Im starting an engine thats probably well over twice the size of the common size found here. And I know my starter isnt twice the size or larger then ones found on 2.0l and smaller engines. Twice as many or 2.5 times as many vylinders is twice as much or more resistance the starter is trying to move. Makes sence in my head I guess. lol. Ill update my fuel log here again when I get home. I already updated the 1st half my day. Only going in 1/2 day increments because Im assuming 100-130 miles is a good measurement. Most people are maybe 40 or so miles a day I would think. So my logs will be about 4 "normal" days to 1 of my days.

Thanks again for the replys. Ill be doing some stuff soon. Im thinking a front air dam and an undertray first. Ill do the undertray in aluminium for weight savings. And on the boat tail stuff... Im sorry but I really cant convince myself to drive something with those type of aero mods unless its like a 5mpg increase. lol.
