1. Dont press the gas pedal down more than 1/4 way during normal driving.
2. Don't accelerate or stop quickly
3. Shift below 4k RPM for normal driving

I get a minimum of 260 /tank that way. A little over 300 if I wait till it's on fumes.

probably a combination of things, check your air filter and oil first off...and that low grade octane will do it to

1. make sure your tire pressure is correct
2. change oil and filter
3. try shifting between 3000-3500 rpm
4. drive you car like it's made of gold and it will treat you well.

Hmm, I get just about the same but mine's supercharged, I actually thought mine was getting pretty shitty mileage when the gas light would pop on at 270. I get about 32 mpg though if I'm mostly freeway.
