Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu 6k
Nice nice
cheap too
Our mpg usually loses his mind after 1/4 tank but here
Did the reset after filling up
Well... Says 198 miles
200 is good actually for 3 morning warm ups, light traffic sometimes to work and a little city
Straight highway would be like 220 i think
Will go to nyc around sometime
Will seeee hehe

I DON'T!!! 
Although I will say that with my jpipe, high flow cats and exhaust, I saw about a 3 mpg improvement. I used to get 18 or so...now, I average about 21.

Meko that is an improvement from what you were getting right?
All highway you should get around 240-ish in a half tank....all city around 160-170 is decent enough...so mix should be around 200 ish and you are right there.....
glad you decided to slow down

Oh yeah bro big improvement,
not that I don't remember, I am positive I never did 200 miles inside the borders of MA before

at worst I was doing 150
but filling up on Monday morning before work, I was usually doing 170-175 with half tank
So that jumped to 200 now
All I did, no flooring, no intake no Stage II, and speed limit
well, did 85-87 sometimes, but that was the flow of traffic, no more speeding
But first time I saw 200 in MA

on the way to NH NY whatever, no matter what you pass 200 with half tank
Here is a story...
the worst mpg I had, I am serious, the worst of 6 years
couple weeks ago I had to do traffic count at RI
from 6am to noon
some of you might remember
Google map said 95 miles but!!! 1 hour 55 minutes
Takes long because speed limit is low and you pass from downtown blah blah
At night filled the tank
Saying to myself that I will only go with the speed limit and check how many miles half tank will do
I missed the alarm at 3am

Mom woke me up at 4:55

I jumped to TL at 5:00

At the location at 6:00

Dude, 100 miles and needle was almost at half tank
alllmostThank god 75mph roads were clear as hell, was about to take the car to cruise control at 110-120 dude hahaha
but passing from downtown providence at RI is at most 55, sometimes even 45
I am just praying for no cops while doing 80+

I had to dude, I was screwed if I passed 6am
anyways that was my worst mpg haha
Didn't go with III because of not being stainless
Jpipe is too much $
I would buy it but after evetrhing is finished
I do that too
but i watch my speed doing 85 when i am actually at 10

I went from KC (Kansas City) to STL (St Louis), right around 290 miles in 2hours and 57 minutes....usually i am on cruise and it takes me 3 hours and 20 minutes but this time around the ex-girl had gotten into an accident and I had to rush back....averaged right around 100mph for 3 hours LOL
yes, I did use up almost the full tank of gas...usually i there in a little more than 1/2 tank.... (240 miles per half tank)

Been long time since he drove the TL
test it after, zkw-r, redline tranny fluid, new sway bar, xlr8 engine mounts, intake spacer
20 miles road to home
I left before him and did come prettty fast
Before I closed the garage, he drove in
I love how this car downshifts by itself at DS
but wish had paddle shifters

its not about cost and money and insurance....all the money in the world can be earned....its about life...
if you end up dead or end up killing someone....the rest of your family's/your life will be a sad event....
Speeding like this isn't just about the insurance costs, its about putting others on the road around you at immediate risk. You may feel as though you're in control off a 3500lb sedan doing 130mph, but those around you are not expecting a car with a 70mph closing speed to fly past them. I honestly hope to god that you come to your senses before something bad happens - and Im not talking about being pulled over.
Thanks to you guys.
I actually don't drive fast, no way missing every cop since 5 years all the time
If there was a fast car, yes I was running after him. Not anymore (didn't go after that TL)
The real point I made myself stop was driving quick.
I drive so quick, get in here and there
Accel. fast, especially in city.
+ to hear the intake and exhaust
Stage II roars afterr 2500K
MPG drops too of course
So that I really stopped doing
I really don't do stupid things on highway
When I dooo, it's usually at night ifff another car comes up but not anymore
Saving gas holds me, that's my excuse
Of course health of other people comes first but we are people, when you are about to enjoy somthing, you forget the health or I don't know, you guys got me
But gas holds me know, saving money
and promising to you guys hehe
