Whats your driving cycle... I would give my midget brother for 15 mpg.

I have short trips, about 6 miles each trip, but drives about 10 mins..... I get about 13.5... I have many WOTs, new o2 sensors, clean plenum, KS, BG44k used 3 times or so, and other stuff like that... New fuel pump, plugs and fuel filter.....

I think its time for a fuel rail flush.....

Try ot stay UNDER 2500 RPM, for a full week. Then see waht your mileage does.

Mine is a constant 20 MPG, with highs in the 22 MPG range.

Now that CA has phased out MTBE and subed Ethanol [and water] another 3, 4, even 5% has disappeared.

Really hard to get [come close to] the desired rural City MPG in a congested area with conventional gasoline much less what they try and pass of now.
