Lol unfortunately I actually do try to keep it easy on it. 1st rev to 2500 rpms, shift to 4th, then shift at 2k rpms to 5th if I'm getting on the highway or straight to 6th once I hit cruising speed on the street. What could be leaking, if at all? I've got a new fuel pump and fuel filter at this point and I put my OEM gas cap back on so that's not spraying out gas now lol. I don't see any leaks under the car :confused:

I like to tell myself the city MPG sucks so bad cuz traffic here is godawful with these morons who block all 3 lanes of a road and drive 5 under the limit making you hit every single red light on the way to wherever...

ow ok... Im getting 21-22 highway. with my 4:11's

I hope so, I'll find out on this next tank of gas. I know when I got the car it was getting upwards of like 17.5 in city, but then I seafoamed the car and my MPG dropped, even though it felt like it's responding a little better afterward.

city isn't that great to be honest. but that is my driving habits. I get in the throttle and never short shift. And only go to 4th when the speed is 35+

Peter,

Didn't you say in another post, that you still need to finish the tune up? that might pick you a mpg or 2.
