check your plugs, 02 sensor, your airfilter maybe dirty, tire pressure - that can hurt you alot... then you should be good.

It's just the heat. Mine has always gone down after the temp goes above 85 degrees. I think it is because the car looses some power due to the heat and with out realizing it you use more throttle to get the same acceleration as you do when it is cooler.

Once it cools off your mileage will be back up to where it was.

High temps is a factor and another thing can be humidity. It's been really humid here for the past month and a half in NYC and even without going into boost, my gas milage as been crap.

Gas Mileage

What kind of mileage is everyone getting? All I can get before the gas light comes on is 220 miles or so. I am not boosting very much either. Is this normal? I thought it should be better than it is.

If you're running the AC and doing a lot of mixed driving that's pretty normal.

I will usually get around 260-280 on a full tank depending on my driving habbits with my current mods. I have learned (the hard way) that my car while mostly stock could get a max of 320 miles out of a full tank of gas. Does the octane rating have anything to do with mpg, because in Dallas we have 93 octane.
