I apparently grossly miscalculated my weight. I thought mine was 4200-4300 or so, nuh-uh! 5100+ lbs! HOLY CRAP! split 2700/2500 front/back. YARG! so gettin 22-23mpg is GREAT for me apparently. I’m gonna throw in like 250 pounds of audio and insulation in and yea, we’ve got a tank. Its like driving a civic, with a civic in its trunk. cripes! what’s your car? ---

Do a google search to find the actual weight of you car. Add on your weight and the other shit you keep in the car. Weight of gas is easy math too. ---
