Also he said he was taking it to the shop to see where the exhaust leak is. Hope it's not in the cat or a header.

32's with 3.56 I believe...whatever stock is.
I calculated it by filling it up completely then run it till I'm pretty much on fumes then fi it up and take the gallons I put in divided by the trip miles.

Your calculations are off. you need to swap out for the correct speedometer gear. your mpg are probably more like 15mpg

Well Cotey checked it out and said it was redone. How would I check for sure. Cuz I'm dumping 50 bucks every 6 days into it and I really need to do something to get a bit better mileage
