11, maybe a bit more thanks to the cat delete and flowmaster. i think removing the air pump belt might have helped me a bit - but its always so tricky to be sure. couldnt have hurt anyhow. the most ive ever head claimed is 16-18 city. id like to see that to believe it though.

If I drive it like I stole it, like how I did when I first got my license, I get 8-10mpg. Normal driving is around 13mpg, but when I drive conservatively I believe I can get 14-15mpg.

it seems that decent headers, high flow (or deleted) cats with a decent size exaust gives reasonable mpg gains ont hese things.
