So how many gallons are you putting in? I'll guess probably a bit less than 14, because I've been running till the indicator is pretty far down below "E" and squeezing in about 14.7ish.

Without consulting my trusty calculator your 8's returning 25 mpg. Jeez, I'm 20% deficit relative to that.

Cruising or redlining im always getting under 10mpg. I have new spark plugs, spark plug wires, new air filter, tires are inflated properly, and I cant figure out why this is happening. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate the help. Thanks

I average about 20 mpg. It drops to 16 if I'm driving it like I stole it. I have gotten just over 27mpg on highway trips. It's better this time of year when I'm not running the AC compressor & fan all the time.
