Just wondering what the avg MPH (speed) was. I'm getting 17-18 MPG when I do a lot of stop-and-go (avg MPH 20's, though that includes hwy 60-70s).

The high 20's and low 30's is from 72 mph with cruise control on and AUTO 75 for climate control. Tires are around 35 psi front and 33 rear.

The lower numbers are from stop n go traffic, but I do drive a lot of freeway miles.

I generally get either Chevron 93 or Shell 93.

Mine are stock. My good numbers are thanks mostly to the tires, Toyo 800 Ultras. They are meant for good fuel economy and long wear. Of course, they arent as good at handling and braking. So its a tradeoff.

In the 2.5 vs 3.2 thread you suggested 36 psi rear and 30 front. That gives better traction adn therefore less MPG? While 35 front and 33 rear for MPG then?

That was only for the race, not for daily driving.
