I have been averaging around 14/15 mpg in the city and around 16/17 mpg on
the highway with a completely stock set-up. But do remember, I am in New
Zealand and our highways are a lot different from the ones in the USA.

I have just changed the tyres about a week ago, so can't really say if my
mpg has changed at all. I need a few gas tanks to get an average.
