New Gas Mileage Personal Best
Coming home last night averaging 80mph with little traffic, travelling a total of 155 miles, I was able to pull off 31.6 MPG!!
That'* my new personal best. I've seen upwards of 34, but never on a long trip like this.
Contributing factors may have been the warmer weather, and my ported exhaust manifolds.

I get about 24mpg in my STE and about 29 or so in the Lumina. My dad, when he still had stock gears, used to see around 37 or so on the freeway...not bad for a car that was at the time ~375hp. Especially considering the weight of the car and passengers when this mileage was achieved was probably right around 4000lbs.

I like how there'* seperate buttons for each function of the DIC though. Mine just has a select button --> and a select button \/ to browse through the menus. my personal best so far has been 34 MPG @ an average of 75 MPH. On my day to day driving I'm getting 25.5 MPG @ an average of 37 MPH.

I pulled off 27 MPG at a sustained speed of 90MPH constant for 240 miles. Best ever there.
