Low MPG need help.
I recently took a road trip to Valdosta Ga and back.
My MPG was 21
I was cruising at 80 MPH in 6th.
The only performance mod I have is a Vararam. I checked for codes and there are none.
My best MPH in the 1/4 was 112, I was powershifting at 6500 on everyshift and I'm not a stranger to drag racing.
I know that the 2002 + MAF's are sensitive to any changes in airflow.
Anyone else ever have this problem?
Thanks.

Richie,
You did not give year or milage for your car?. I just made a trip to BG last month, and I averaged 28mpg in 6th at 80 or above sometimes. I have an 02 with 42,000 plus miles. The only thing I have is a CAI installed with a tune. You could check the plugs, wires, clean air filter etc. to see if this helps. I also run a bottle of Redline fuel injection cleaner every two tanks or so. Let me know more info on your car.

All of my info is in my post and sig except the milage, 18000 miles on the car.. The air filter was clean.
I'll try running some fuel injector cleaner in the tank.
Thanks.
