I know my check engine light is on due to some of my emissions system not functioning correctly, Im also due for a tune up (77,000 miles). I also have 2.25 inch exhaust w/ magnaflow muffler so thats not helping, but when I first got the car I was getting nearly 38-40 mpg before I put on the exhaust/intake/ 17's rev wheels ; ( . Now I can't seem to get 30 mpg out of it, and my parents v-6 Buick century (4 door family car) gets more than I do !!
I had the same problem when I upgraded my wheels......
Drive faster harder with mods plus the drag from the bigger wheels and tread.
I get 25 mpg with 5 sp around Dallas and 28 - 32 on the freeway at 80 ish.
