My average over the last 9 months is 17.0 mpg. I can get up to 19.5 on the highway. This is with Thorleys, intake, high flow cats, FloPro HD, 160 stat and tune.

My in town stays 13-14 ... self explanitory

Before the Allen tune Hwy was 16 after I got 17.5 and that was going 80 -85 most of the way. Found the MPG gets better around 68 - 72 MPH. As if you can let others pass you....

GMJIM, if you can go to his shop in San Antonio and get the street tune followed by some Dyno time to tweek it, you won't be sorry. He has done a few of our VHO's and obtained some great results.
