I got 23-26 mpg. i went back and forth acrossed the country, I lived in the SoCal desert, extreme heat, cold, nothing fazed it. i filled it up at the regular gas pump at Mobil. It was my daily driver, averaging about 50 miles a day.Car handled great, no squeeks, rattles, shimmy's or shakes, and I could light the tires from 70 mph, or really piss off Porsche owners. I had a full interior, normal aftermarket stereo, 18" wheels, and ran an 11.89 at the track without trying. I had 10k in the motor, 3 in the trans, and 1 in the rear end. I bought it new, so all told, around 38k in the car total. This is an honest cost break down on my part. And that car is the kind of car that I want, a jack of all trades if you will. To me, it was totally worth it.And I know a guy who runs low 13's with a converter, Kmember, 4.10's, full exhaust, PI intake and cams. so about 2k into it.</blockquote>
