Let me know if you need the data I have.

thanks, guy! i'm always interested in MPGs but i am constantly calculating what i'm getting so i have a delta point for my car already. my best tank so far has been 33.x mpg, although that was in the summer.

That's way more than even the factory spec, which we all know is high to begin with. What are you feeding that thing?!
LOL. i think driving style and roads you are driving play a key part... for example, i live in the sticks, so the majority of my driving is around 50mph, and 75mph when i'm on the highway. i do very little stop 'n go... however i do a lot of trips to 6800rpm. i typically average about 30mpg in the summer and 25mpg in the winter.
