Well for one thing, you got a manual, I got an automatic. Manual gets better mileage than automatic. Let's see what else could be giving you the edge on us: Eibach Sportline springs, Eibach front and rear sway bars, Wicked Tuning rear camber arms AEM v1 CAI, and you've got a pair of Kyowa rims which I'm pretty sure weigh less than my stock rims. Those things alone mixed with your manual tranny mean better mpg. No idea but I wonder if you driving a coupe versus a sedan means anything *shrugs*

Eh, you're right. Your mile long gears are much less fuel efficient than my stump pulling tranny. My 170hp means I burn a lot less fuel than you too. And my 216lb rims store up my rolling energy and act like a hybrid motor to keep me moving when I cut the engine off at cruising speeds. :icon_gay:
