    It only puts out minimal power anyway. Back on topic though. I get around 22-24mpg on average.

    now i get between 19.5-20.9 mpg ( 220-245 miles) per tank. its l0w because of the colder weather now in vegas but in the summer months i can easily get 21-23mpg. i always fill up when my gas needle is at 1/4. I remember 2 years ago when i use to drive back and forth to school with was almost all HWY and to work city, i use to get 320-340 miles( 24-25mpg) but i use to fill up when my light came on and also that was when i was under 100,000 miles l0l

    260 city / 300 highway which seems normal. I wish it were somewhere around 300+ for city driving.

    You have no clue what you are talking about, I realize this is 4 months ago, but still. Hyundai make a 2.4, Nissan has had 2.5 for a while. Subarus are 2.5 some at least. Mitsu made a 2.6. Porsche had a 3.0 4 cyl and Rolls Royce made a 2.8.

    2.4 is one of the more common sizes now.

    I believe the 8G is around 31 or 3200 which is heavier then my bmw which has about 50 more horses.
    The 8G is a bit too heavy for the sohc 2.4 that they gave with it. But we can always change the amount of horses in the stable.

    I am getting about 260 now all city and putting a lil over 13 gals in per fill up. Not bad considering I drive everywhere at 3.5k rpm or more lol my life is so busy right now.

    The most i ever got out of my GTZ when i had it was when i made my trips from KY to FL to pick up my Eclipse.
    I got 450 miles to a tank of gas each time i filled up. I was amazed! Never got that again tho after the trip. Usually ranged between 290-320 here in the mountains. Mostly highway driving tho.

    I would check your car I just got about 330, 21.8 mpg to be precise driving on long island mostly city and it is fucking cold here.

    Check your tire pressure, oil, spark plugs. Anything, my car has brand new oil oem specs on tires and i just tuned her up 5000mi ago.

    Also let your car warm up if you want better mpg thats why most people get better in summer the cars are nearly warm already. Technically your performance and I believe mpg should be better in cold.
