[QUOTE="Mad Max, post: 825102, member: 9701"] When I was on Method NV's and 35's... Back roads (40-55), I could get 20 mpg with my 5-star tune and using throttle management - I'd lift off the pedal slightly and slowly bleed off a little speed on any uphills. I'd keep it in M6 and wouldn't get under 35 (or it down-shifts to 5th). During "normal" driving and Interstate (65+), I'd drop to mid-teens. Or drive it like you mean it, lots of WOT and 80+, then I'm under teens and at times hitting single digits. The Methods NVs are a bit lighter than the factory wheels and any rotational weight you can remove makes a significant difference. But mostly, it just comes down to your driving style or habits. Now that I'm running a 93 Performance Tune (and on 37's)... I eventually stopped caring about the mpg lol [ATTACH=full]242318[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
