I bought it a month ago and I've only opened the hood twice to check the oil
and fluids, and there are no "Codes" present, and no engine lights
either.......
I'm going to top off the tank tomorrow, and run that tank out over the next
few weeks and re-calculate the mileage based on a 12 Gallon capacity.
I'll know by then if some thing is screwey with it, but it runs GREAT!

Hmmm sounds like somethings wrong.. Have you tried pulling any codes?

12.5 gal. I get at 1/2 tank 160mi. Moderate driving, heavily modded.
Mods: AF/X UDP, Iceman CAI, LFS 60mm TB, AF/X Street/Strip PCM, Magnum
intake manifold, DynoMax catback, REX MM inserts, adjusted kickdown, AF/X
valvebody, NGK B7RKE plugs & a Zex n2o system w/ColdFusion 20lb tank
spraying a 100hp shot.
You have an 03 with a 4spd ATX? What plugs are you using? Stock Champs
should be the only plugs you are running.
