1) less 6000 rpm+ time
2) top down less
3) slower cruising, 69 mph on freeway instead of my usual 74.

290+ coming from Vegas for me.
Try following bigger cars like big rigs and such. Drafting helps.

260 average when light turns on (city and highway)...with air-intake, headers, test pipe and exhaust...
-also check your tire preasure, that makes a difference!
for me as of: 32psi front and rear now and 30psi front and rear for winter, for canyon its always different due to weather change...
