Default mpg .. wtf?
16.5XXX mpg.

Heads/cam/intake 30lb injectors. Very heavy foot, all city driving.

Does this sound abnormaly high for a setup such as mine. It runs 11:1 a/f at wot.

Am I losing my mind or are you complaining that you're getting too good of a mileage?

Depends on your gears, but that seems about right to me.

I will pay for you to take spelling and composition classes at SPC, just stop this shit NOW! It gives me a headache.

What are you talking about new cars having worse mileage?!?!?!
Today we make the most efficient vehicles to date.
