I haven`t measured the mileage yet,but I will here in
a couple days. Been thinking about a cat-back dual
(rear exit) exhaust,but I want one that has a
mellow,deep sound to it. Reasonably priced. And gas
mileage is one of the reasons I want one,besides
making it sound better. I don`t know,the sticker says
like 13-18 mpg,and that is probably close. I`ll find
out for sure. I`ve been curious myself how the gas
mileage compares to a 318. "Supposed" to be a little
better. Steve P.
