Did one 3000 mile trip and several 1100 mile ones with 04a4, cruise set between 75-85 and never got less then 30 with the 3:15s. Now with all the mods and 3:42s milage is 24-25. This is based on fill ups, not computor.

Have an LPE 383 in mine and I get the following:
70 (cruise on) 31.4 DIC w/ calculator 31.5
65 (cruise on) 30.2 DIC w/ calculator 30.3
60 (cruise on) 28.7 DIC w/ calculator 28.8
80 (cruise on) 27.8 DIC w/ calculator 27.9
Checked on the DIC and by calculations. DIC is always off about .01 or so on the shy side.
Using just my foot (poor).
Love that car. eat your heart out Toyota.
Thought I'd get my best at 65 to 70, but 70 - 73 is about the best.

You can get bad fuel economy if your MAF sensor is dirty. Just a thought.
