Default 22.4 MPG on recent trip

I tried an experiment, keeping steady freeway speeds, moderate acceleration etc, 70-80 mph, got 22.4 mpg, then normal around town stop & go.

Didn't think I could get above 20 with the GT. Running CAI, Breenspeed tune, 93 octane.

What are others getting on a regular basis?

No that doesn't suck! You missed the around town driving part! That's what get's the average down from 25. Just one or two stops at lights and take offs to normal town speeds and the MPG will drop .1 each time!
