I'm getting about 350-360 on a tank with a clogged cat and snow tires! Just recently had the intake cleaned, all new gaskets, timing belt, wp and trans fluid changed. I still can't feel the VTEC xover because of my exhaust.

I was getting 400-440 on a tank before the clogged cat issue.

Here you go guys and girls...

300 miles to 1/2 a tank, tank was not topped off at the station:

We refilled at 442 miles, when it was at "E" and put a dash over 15 gallons in, topped off this time. Probably could have gotten more, but we did a lot of "spirited" driving through Chicago.

yeah i set the cruise to 75 most of the time and 80 a few times... a minivan was going 70 in a 65 in the fast lane with a line of cars behind me, so i swung around her at about 90-95 and met a wisconsin state patrol on teh other side of her, i got lucky... very lucky

in city I get around 360 with my driving, which is accelerating time to time, but on highway i usually get 500-525 all the time. so its pretty good.
