    How's your gas mileage?

    Hey guys, just wondering how your gas mileage change from city to highway, because mine is weird. My 95DX with 70k miles, will range from around 40MPG on highway to 10-14MPG pure city??? Is this normal? I calculated my highway with a single tank trip from Indiana to Chicago, at 400miles clocked, I was about empty. And for city, I set the counter to zero when I fill up and see when it is about empty, right now it's at the dash before empty, and I'm about 147miles. So to me, my car's MPG really ranges...yours?

    I drive normally 10 over the speed limit but 1/3 of the time I do 3/4 throttle or full...so I redline only the first gear "about" once a day

    OK, I just got 178 miles out of one gas tank doing pure city. This is weird, I have one of those Procarparts aka eBay short ram intakes, which I guess is screwing up my gas mileage because it's sucking in hot air and making the car run rich probably. But would it affect it that much? I just had 60k maintenance like a year ago so all my engine fluids, components..etc are pretty much new.

    P.S. Just had my PCV valve changed a month ago too.

    auto vs manual makes a big difference in mpg too - but mine is definitely better in pure highway driving. when we drove up to NOPI in atlanta last year I was gettin 400 miles+ to a tank cuz it was nothin but highway cruising. In town here I mostly drive highway too (live 30 miles from work) and usually get around 330-350 if I'm really easy on the gas.

    so that means I get around 29-30 in town and prob around 33-35 on highway.
