why wouldn't it be normal? even with a modified car you can still get good gas mileage. if it bothers you that much, drive like a maniac for the next few days. i guarantee it'll get worse.

Well im saying its better than normal for me. I know if I drive like a maniac it will go down i usually get about 100mi to the 1/4 tank, when i fist got it I only used 1/4 tank and got 70mi drivin like a maniac. But fun time is over and im getting better gas mileage than stock.

Why wouldnt you get better gas mileage? Your engine is working less to get the same amount of spent exhaust gasses out. Its now more effiecent, gets the same power with less work (or more with equal work however you want to see it), thus should consume less gas :) . Ibe never seen a drop in economy only increases. If you where to increase the fuel flow, duty cycle, or change the gearing the economy will drop though...

But bolt ons basically only make your engine more efficient.
