Hit my best at 32.9 MPG!! Never thought I'd get that in my car. Next goal is 35 but not sure how realistic that is! Going to be very difficult with colder weather coming up

I bet instrumentation would put you over 35mpg. Just having the feedback can make you aware of small changes that will affect the whole tank.

Good Luck,

I'm actually using ultragauge now. That was my first tank using it

What mods are you using? Do you have any planned?

Congratulations! My friend had a TSX and was having MPG blues until I told him about using the top gear more often.

I think you'll make 35, might take the the weather warms up a little more but you'll make it.

Stratus with same size engine but auto used to get below 30 winter driving, tops 32-33 summer, my best 3 tanks average last summer was 36.8, nothing special just driving without brakes, setting cruise @ 55 and getting to 55 MPH(oops not mpg) pretty quickly.

pretty good numbers. What techniques are you using? what sort of driving?
