				got back around ten. i was keeping track of my gas and milage, lost half of my figures, but i think i averaged 16 MPG. not bad for a 5.7 w/ 130K.
 
 
also, since my speedo does not work that well, i always just stayed behind somone, so we were both going the same speed. at one pont i was behind a white honda and i looked down at my speedo and it said 90 MPH  .  which means we were close to 108 MPH. i was behind him for about 10 minutes until he exited, made great time back to portland.       |

				| Do you have a fuel pressure regulator on that GTA, or do you just run it stock? |

				They've all got fuel pressure regulators.
 
 
 
Or do you mean an adjustable one? |

				stock fuel pressure regulator. i drove the GTA because the white bird does not have a radio. if the GTA had no radio, no big deal, it sounds bad ass. but the six does not sound bad ass, so it needs music.   |

Back when mine was a daily driver, I'd average 22 with my 5.7 (w/ 210k). It's no longer a daily driver so I don't fill it up anymore, which makes it much harder to track the milage. I have no reason to believe it's any different, though. |
