    i can "third" that sentiment about mpg... i saw 33-34 in my car as i was coming back across the flat part of the country.... driving to Harrisburg on the turnpike, i get 29-30.... Normal driving, which includes mostly in-town driving and some highway, i'm seeing 19-20, and i drive my car pretty hard....... and all of that is with a large cam, so if you're not seeing that, a tune and some mods to let her breathe could be in order...

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    I believe it. My car is stock except for the cats are cut off and it has some ghetto air intake, so I can see it getting slightly less than what guys usually get since it still has the stock tune. I also typically get horrible mpg compared to others in everything I have anyway...
