it boggles my mind to see that some people get 450miles to a tank of gas. I know this has been beaten to death already, so theres not need to respond....i rarely see 300 before the light comes on.

Same here.
I get about 290-320 miles per tank with my stock rims.
When I put on the 19's I get better gas mileage. About 350-390 per tank.

i've read that some people with the apexi power ground kit thing get a pretty good increase in gas mileage.... like about 40 or 50 more miles.

best mod? modifying right foot. hard acceleration kills mileage. sucks, but that's the truth I've found.
my 74K bone stock '01 CL-S has returned 34mpg on long drives w/cruise control set @75-80 -- on a 17 gallon tank this yields a theoretical range of 578 miles.

how can there be such a HUGE gap in MPG?!? Its not like we're talking 10-15miles..thats understandable, but getting 150-200miles to a tank more? I know headers make up some difference, i think the last number was 50miles more to a tank, still doesn't add up.

For city driving, the CLS gets way lower MPG i'd be lucky to hit 300miles. But highway its a whole different matter.
On a half a tank from full, keeping it around 70-75sh, no hard accelaration or WOT, i'll looking at getting very close to 250miles.... last month i drove from ft.lauderdale on my way to lake wales FL, as i past the vero beach exit which is 99miles from ft.lauderale the gas neddle was just comming of the full sign.
Because of my drive from ft.lauderdale to Lake wales and back which is over 400miles, my gauge was between half and empty. And just based on what i was getting that day, i know if i kepted driving i was going to be able to reach 500miles on a full tank.

The answer for the disparity in mpg is very obvious.
Interstate driving at constant 70-80mph you get 25-30 mpg.
In city driving 15-20 mpg.
Vtec use cut them both significantly.
There is no real difference in the cars-just the difference in urban and rural driving and styles.

Not to mention elevation and whether or not you live a hilly or falt region. Temps and humidity....octane...frequent oil changes will increase mileage as well, tune up....even though the CL has 100k tune up policy..the platnium plugs do wear down.
