I am curious to see what average gas mileage everyone is getting?

Has it changed with more miles on the car?

Changing the exhaust increased the mpg?

sorry about that. I missed it in my search. However, the other thread is from March. I'm really curious to see if MPG is improving with use and if aftermarket exhaust is helping at all.

im not really a fair gauge, seeing as i sit in some of the worst traffic in the nation everyday.

I now have 550 miles on mine. About 13.7 on the highway and 11.0 around town. As low as 8.6 when I was having a bit of fun.

I got up to 17 mpg on the interstate in flat areas on a trip to California. I got pretty close to 15 mpg average on the entire trip. I got 11 mpg around town which includes the occasional mandatory goosing of the throttle. That was back at 1,500 miles. Now have 3,500 miles but haven't looked lately.

The mos tI saw during a 400 mile road trip was 17.1 MPG. The truck now has 2700 miles on it and through the last 5 gas tanks has gotten an average of 14.1 MPG, mostly highway driving, with pretty aggressive city driving.

I have a total of 1609 miles so far and have an overall average of 14.5 MPG so far. Almost all of the mikes have been fairly easy miles and about 90% cruising about 80 MPH on the interstate.
Highest tank so far was 16.0 mpg. Been getting better with additional mileage.

BTW - the average cost per gallon so far is $3.06.
