shiloh you need to check your plenum.

gtup: you could still have a bad plenum, you need to do a pressure check. its the best way to test for bad plenum. ive read about it and its the preferred method, but.. i dont remember where i read it and i dont know how to do it, so im pretty much useless...

oh and to make everyone happy, i took a little trip yesterday, filled up my tank and drove 20 miles down a curvy hilly highway to my buddys house. be4 i left my town i reset my overhead avg mpg. got to his house and the avg was 19.4 mpg. although i drove very light footed like a 90 year old grandma, probably never happen again. lol
