Smile mIleage (Gas and Oil)

I get about 2500 per Qt of oil.

In town is around 15-16 miles per gallon and Hwy driving I get 20 to 25. Drive it like I stole it.

I get about 15-16 MPG in town only, and around 18-21 (depending on how fast I go :-)) on the highway. As far as oil comsumption goes its about 1 quart per 2500 miles

STUCK at 19 mpg. City, highway, no matter. Always 19 (+- 0.2). As far as oil goes, I only have 2000 miles on it, and I have had to put a shade over a quart in her. But, I always keep 2 quarts in my trunk... just in case I can not find 5-20 oil in whatever area I may be in.

These are almost exactly my numbers, except that I have about 7800 miles on my car. Lowest mileage I've ever gotten was 15.6 (a long time ago, before I added my Canzoomer mod and high flow cat) and the best I've gotten was about 22 MPG during a short highway trip. Overall I average 17 - 18 MPG in 60/40 highway/city driving, and use about a quart of oil every 1500 miles.
