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

    The cap was probably the problem. I got 28 highway in my ws6 And i usually got around 21-22 city driving easy

    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.
