Almost identical to me, but I get 27mpg. Only mods are FMIC and full 3" exhaust. My 98 Isuzu Rodeo V6 4x4 gets 17-19mpg. So I when I know its not going to snow are ice up, I tend to drive the RB.

Man all these people getting high 20`s!!! I have a wideband hooked up and it does go into closed loop mode when crusing the usual perfect 14.5-14.9 crusing afr`s and I still only get liek 23 on the freeway max, and about 17-20 around town, maybe it because my tires are a little bit bigger, who knows.

Hey by spirited do you mean ethanol/alcohol injection? cause I wanted to setup a kit on a Skyline R32 GTS RB20DE. If you didnt mean that, than any "guestimation" on what the MPG would be? Thanks.

By spirited he means occasionally beating on the car/getting on it a little bit.
