    Look down at your right foot, think about the amount of time you are burning gas sitting still and how yoru 3.29 gears never do anything to help.

    About right if this is slow going city driving..
    Unless by city you mean 6 miles each way at 45-60, with two or less lights between, I'd expect more around 20-22mpg.

    Thats round trip. 3 lights each way. 40 mph. Didnt think city mileage would be this bad! Thats the price to pay i guess.

    Maybe your trans items have something to do with it?

    seems fine to me.

    I get 15-16 with my 00 GTP, and my round trip is 7 miles.
