Just be honest on how much gas you put in and the miles driven.

The only mods u really can do to improve gas mileage are weight reduction and areodynamics. Since the factory designs the intake system to maximize fuel economy if u put the stock intake back on u might be able to get a little more mileage out of ur tank. But ur fuel consumption sounds pretty normal.

That sounds about right. I do a lot of stop and go and rarely any highway (atleast going to work) - on my way home I get good mileage because there is no one on the road at 11:30pm.

What kind of aerodynamic modifications do you believe will help fuel economy?

Why would an aftermarket exhaust reduce fuel economy?

I imagine that reliability and low cost are very important considerations for the factory intake. I don't see why an aftermarket intake would hurt fuel economy.

You fuel tank hold over 16.6 gallons? Mine only holds 13.2 gallons (50 liters).
