i thought it was 44psi tire pressure, and if you want 30+ get a corolla or a geo

44psi? Are you talking about his tires? They're rated at 40psi MAX. He shouldn't run more than that.

Is your driving at night or more during the day? If it is at night your headlights are ususally up meaning you just increased your drag. Do you drive with the windows down? If you do the parachute effect takes place and is worse than the 4 @ 40 rule (4 windows down at 40 mph). Also youi have to consider that if your compression is good but you injectors are sticking then you need to consider getting new ones. Also have you bothered to look if you have an unecessary amount of friction in your drivetrain. Check your brakes, check your tranny? What kind of oil do you use? Is it heavy or is it light? City driving makes a big difference. Also are you hauling extra crap in your car, stereo, tools, etc. Do your does seal properly, do you use 93 octane. Ask your self the question you need to ask yourself before posting about MPG. Some of us don't give a damn about MPG but care more about our AFRs. Get a friend with a wideband and check your AFR's Good luck.

P.S. To the dickhead who gave me a bad rep fuck you and I said it was joke you fucking ankle.

Hey did you even check this thread? ALL this has been covered.....TWICE, shit 3 TIMES.

And for skylinekin: Yes a plugged cat will hurt mileage and overall power. You are getting more backpressure and less exhaust flow, really just choking the engine. replace it and see what happens...
