Haha, it's not THAT bad to have a quiet car, but I must admit I do miss having a lil bit of a rumble. I've even been considering doing an O/R H with some GT500's, but that means I'll have to get a tune as well.

I know I'll be getting better mpg on monday since I'm switching back to the stock 3.31's.

I really like the 3.31s. Ive had 3.73s and 4.10s several times and i like these the most. I think it will be awesome once the blower goes on. A real managable gear with boost on the street.

That's more like it. Lol. Sounds like someone at the dealer reset the readout or something.

I usually grab around 25-28 on the highway according to the dash depending on hills and such.

City, if I cruise, I break 20s pretty easily.

But what fun is that?

Best I have seen is 26.4 Hwy to Louisiana. I average 20.8 city, driving 17 miles to work and 17 miles home then 1.5 miles to the gym and 1.5 miles back. I just use 87, I don't get on it too much either.
