I just put a SOLO PERFORMANCE exhaust thread up about the new MACHX system I put on my car. This is what I wrote about my gas milage. And to this day I am still AVERAGING OVER 22 MPG.

Here is a text clip from my New Exhaust thread:

"When I left for Canada to go to SOLO, I was getting average 17.9 miles to the Gallon with a good mix of local and highway (Mostly Highway). I had 750 miles on the ODO when I left and I already did my first Oil Change (Mobil 1 at dealer). The morning I left I traveled 450 miles and the average miles per gallon went to 18.1. SO being that I went 1 and 1/2 times my total milage I figure this is about what I was getting with my style of driving (Heavy foot and love to leave the Tach around 2500). So I left Canada this morning packing the Mach X. When I checked my average fuel consumption after all the testing my average was up to 18.9............how can that be I was slamming the pedal to the floor the whole time????? So I continued on my Journey home. When I got close to my house (430 miles later) I was up to an average of 23.2 Miles per gallon.........I still cannot believe it. Trust me I was not driving lightly, I was too busy playing with my new sound! Crazy, but true."

Here is the thread!
