Well i drive a 97 GT, bone stock 5sfe w/ bosh plat. +4's, Injen shortram, Greddy sp catback, and DG performance Test pipe .... and on a full tank of 92 Shell V-power i'm getting less that 300 miles to the tank :'( .
What should i look at first? The plugs? ... O2 sensor? i know i have a small exhaust leak somewhere, but it couldnt cause all that. Any suggestions?

I have to agree with (illneversellmyceli). I drive really aggressive with 151,000 miles on the car I'm still getting in the 380s That's city and highway driving. Just Highway I'm usually above 400 and that's driving on average 75mph. V-power rocks and it's even better with an octane booster. That's all I drive on.
