I just had an automatic Camaro 2.0T last week. Didn't get the chance to run it on my normal loop, but I was in the high thirties on a long easy stretch of Interstate. Tanks can be tough, there are so many variations/temptations. Hoping to test a manual Camaro soon.

I have a 392 Scat Pack Hemi Charger in the driveway this week. I'm going to run a loop with it. Hoping to see some decent numbers with cylinder deactivation at 65 MPH. Ran it down my favorite twisty 45 MPH backroad and landed slightly north of 30. My '99 Civic HX is consistently over 50 on that route. =)

I installed an under-drive crankshaft pulley on my 4.0 liter Cologne V-6 in my '07 Mustang last May. It gave me about 1 MPG. My average since then has been about 32.2x MPG. This is about a 60/40 Highway/city mix. YMMV.

You should consider installing EHPS and gutting the PS pump, the ones off old Citroens and Minis and such don't need CANBUS signal and can be found on UK ebay for well under 100 bucks.
