I probably get about 12 miles to the gallon on average. I know I'm getting less than I used to before the gear change, especially since the exhaust was done. I don't think it has much to do with the gear or exhast as much as that I am incapable of allowing anyone to beat me off the line or out of the toll both. It's hard to drive a car that sounds tough and feels tough like your trying to conserve gas. I've got a 14 gallon tank and I've never gotten more than 230 miles out of a tank (about 15 to 16 mpg) unless it was a pure highway trip where I might have gotten 20 or 22 mpg. Usually I go about 150 to 190 miles on a tank of gas.
