Pretty decent mileage

Drove 388.3 miles with an average of about 85 mph the whole time. Filled up with 19.845 gallons and got almost 20 mpg. Also had the AC on max the entire trip but the fan was only on 1. Not bad, if I was going 70 mph I could have gotten almost to the mid 20's? My rpms were 2500 here and at 70 mpg they're at about 1900.

Haha! I was in a hurry driving from NY to MA. I was up to 90 at one point. It'll go, it just takes a while to get there, ha!

Thanks, I agree!

Only other thing I can say is, The plugs and wires were changed a few months back, I cleaned the TB and MAF and it also has brand new fuel and air filters.
