i usually get 250 280 a tank but when i drove to illinois this summer i was getting 380 a tank i guess from being pure highway driving. i wasnt driving slow either. made the 1100 mile drive in 13 hours with three stops for gas and fast food.

My car used to feel very sluggish as well, but on my last gas fill-up I added some fuel injection cleaner and it seemed to have restored the pep in my car...but maybe its just my imagination.

Most likey the ECU is learning the way you drive.
I feel have the same problem now. I thought if I changed engine oil or more 94 octane gas would help. Can feel the difference with the 94 Octane. I had fuel injector put in but I think it wont do much since our engines are pretty good anyways. Guess maybe taking the car out to highways more often is you drive mostly city would help or vice versa.

350 per tank??? damn, thats a lot. After i put in my 19s, i been getting at most 220 per full tank. I guess i drive a lil fast, but when i used to have the stocks, i used to get at least 300 per tank driving the same i drive now.
