Well at least I am at the point you finished at as my Chevy gets 13/14 MPG.

I will be putting a replacement motor with a Tune Port Injection system which is suppose to give 30% more Torque, HP and MPGs so that should give me 4.2 more MPGs getting me to 18 MPG on a good day, and with a special board added to the PCM giving me a lean burn cruse which took 85-90 Camaros from 25MPG to 30/34 MPG I should break though 20MPG and then add in a second OD.....who knows 25MPG???
