The new cat is in!!!!
The car has way more throttle response, torque, and the 0-60mph feels more like 0-90mph!!!!
I will let everyone know if the new cat improves gas mileage!

x2!!!

also, you should check your tire pressure b/c i've heard that can play a role in mileage.
On our most recent trip to FL in the GS (with 110K miles)...4 people, enough luggage for 12 people and doing 80-85 the whole way, we got 28.6 MPG according to the DIC.
In the city we get ~25 MPG.

I get about 18-19 in the city when delivering pizza. Lots of idling. A tuneup (TR55 plugs, Autolite wires, Purolator PCV) didn't change this number at all. Just made the car quicker to accelerate.

We have it at the Marathon at Walmart.... I used it till I noticed a Mileage drop... There is a local station that competes with the walmart gas station so I go there as they don't have the Blended fuel.. I do 21-23 in town..

I mainly use Shell or Quicktrip.
I think all stations in the area use 10% ethanol on pumps.
I prefer to use premium.
Since I put the converter on I am getting 24mpg combined. I am hoping the cold air intake and possible a CPU upgrade will help.
