It has been proven that (even high performance) vehicles get better mileage when you keep over a half-tank in them... not that any of us really care what kind of mileage we get... lol

Yes if you keep you tank full you get better gas milege. I was always told with older vehicles (midwest) its better to not let them run low because they make suck up some dirt or rust in tank. Snow is terrible on are vehicles

I don't know what kind of mileage you guys are getting, but I get over 20 mpg if I keep my foot out of the injectors, and about 18.6 when hammering in hot weather. Not too shabby for all that horsepower IMHO.

Do you have a tune in your car? Mine was starting to run like shit over the last couple of weeks, so last night I got my Predator out and reflashed the 'puter in the car. Only this time I tweaked the WOT fuel/air and fattened it up a full point. No more strange 'flat' sound, and a shitload more power!! I have also found the after you reflash the ECM, if I disconnect the battery overnight and reconnect in the morning, that the car forgets all the 'learned' settings from driving in slow traffic. Man, what a difference this had made. I highly recommend a tuner if you don't already have one.

You should, man... they are spendy, but mine has paid for itself already. I reflashed mine last night and it has come back to life in spades.
