muffler for n/a 2.2

I calculate MPG in my head as I drive constantly. I'm getting about 20, mostly city, with a bad O2 and turbo CR. At least I won't lose mileage when I get a turbo in it.

I drive a NA FWD and I can get 360 before I really need to get gas. Driving spiritedly and I usually get about 30 mpg but I live in the mountains so there are a lot of times where I just coast for a solid mile or two... When I first see the light I usually have another solid 60 mi, it's when the light stays on going uphills that I get a little concerned.

I get about 19.5 mpg in the city. I get the best milage of a turbo I've seen. I also get about 28 mpg on the freeway.

Most of the time I'm seeing 22-24.

I just put in a new pump, and the car seems to perform a little better, we'll see if my milage drops

30 mpg city driving? Wow, what's your secret? Tell me how you do that. I just get 19-21 in city and 21-24 highway.

I thought 30+ was standard for the NA's. I run a regular paper airfilter and the only real engine mod I've done is redoing the grounding. I've done all the standard seafoam and injector cleaner and such too. I get that 30mpg launching all the time from stop lights, I don't like to speed persay but I like getting up to speed as fast as I can. I try to obey the law but I'm certainly not conservative with my gas when I drive but as I said there are a lot of hills and mountains and a few places where I've learned I can coast a mile plus. In the summer I get better milage ~33 but in the winter it drops to ~30-31 (but my engine loves the cold air). Oh yeah, I run just regular 87 octane gas.
Edit: I don't know if it makes a big difference but I rarely let my engine rev over 4.5k and I do a lot of shifting when I'm on the back roads to keep the rpms down when I don't need them high.

skid, perhaps having a FWD like yours helps gas mileage. Mine is AWD and as soon as I lift off on the accelerator, I can feel my car dragging and the speed starts reducing immediately. I wonder if those of you with ATs have the same "drag"?

skid, you have a low fuel warning light? How come I don't have one? Or is the light broken?

The Scooby, if you're looking for mileage per tank, I like filling up at around 250 miles. My car can go to 300 but it makes me nervous because a few months ago I was getting 19 mpg (19 mpg X 15.8 gallon capacity = 300.2 miles).

When my car has about a gallon left in the tank, it starts missing like it's running out of gas (which it is). Three weeks ago I had to drive three or four miles to the gas station in city traffic. I had to start off really feathering the accelerator. If I didn't, the car would start missing and just about die on me. I filled up and put in 14.8 gallons. So I figured the engine was gas-starved. And I was wondering if because my front end sits higher with the KYB GR-2s that maybe the little gas that's left is collecting in the rear of the tank or maybe I've got crud in the tank that start plugging my system when the tank gets that low.

I've heard from a quite a few people that the car should be filled up once it reaches 1/4 tank so as not to ruin the fuel system, the electronics, and something about ruining the engine (someone explained it to me once and it made sense but I don't recall what the explanation was).
