I have done 3 fill ups.
18mpg on 60% highway driving the speed limit.
16mpg driving around town.
16.5mpg mostly driving around town with some highway.
I pull a spark plug too see what they looked like.
Well they were the wrong ones, about one heat range too hot, champion 7318, I'll put the correct ones in. Either double platinum or iridiums.
Also thinking about upgrading injectors, the engine came with single hole EV1 22lb/hr injectors.
There are 4 hole upgrade injectors, also 22lb/hr Bosch #0280155784.
Replacing old EV1 injectors with new 4 hole injectors is good way to get +1mpg.
