I used to get about 26 mpg (mostly hwy) with just a short ram and running 87 octane.
I now get about 20-22 mpg with all of my mods and running 93 octane (for N2O).

why run 93 if you aren't running the juice all the time? I only run it when I have the bottle ready to go.
I get about 300 miles on the tank when the light goes and put about 14 gallons in each time.

After reading this forum & switching to 87 Octane I've been getting 350 miles before the gas light goes on. When I fill up the tank its usually a little over 15 gallons of gas.
I mostly drive highway on my commute to work about 70 miles a day total.
I mainain a speed of at least 70 mph+.

Wait a second. Is the fuel tank the same size in both the 2.3 and the 3.0? Because I have to drive like a bitch to get 300 miles before my light goes on. And I thought manuals were suppossed to get better gas milage.
(i have a 2.3 5 spd.e/i/h)

i hate it when poeople say 275 per tank
a tank is so undefinite-- people start filling at different points
please just convert it to MPG-- sooo much easier
i get around 20 MPG.. last time i checked it was 21.3MPG

Having the automatic bottle opener puts me in "race mode" in just a few seconds. The bottle warmer turn on as soon as I fire up the car, and the arming switch is always "on".
I never know when I'll spray, so I always run 93 octane.

I didn't do that for a reason, it'd get me in way to much trouble!
