Question What is Your MPG?

I am getting around 215 miles on a tank and am averaging about 14 miles per gallon. I also have a very loose gas pedal so i need to do the zip tie trick when I have the chance. Since gas prices are about $4 per gallon, I need to hurry and fix my mileage the best I can. Any tips? (And I drive the manual but I got the big engine so I kind of canceled out all of my proper mileage)

Big deal, if no one created threads that already existed this place wouldn't be a forum. It would simply be a database. Repeat threads are gonna happen once a forum reaches a certain size.

went from 11 mpg to 18 mpg

stay below 70 mph
shift at recommended points
