I still get around 34mpg driving around 70-75 with the occasional downshift and fun on the highway.

What's your K&N modifications for the heat? I'm curious to see pictures and such.

This Friday will be the big test with the 03 when I drive it down to Richmod. Never really had it on the highway for that long. I don't fill it up much (cause I hardly drive it anymore) so I'm not sure what kinda gas mileage it gets. The 05 gets around 20-21mpg driving to and from work 5 days a week and errands on the weekend (an average of about 250 miles a week).

I usually average about 24-26 MPG (depending on how many time's I get on it) with everyday driving/ commuting. I drive about 80+% HWY at 80+ MPH.

On total highway trips I average 28-32 MPG using cruise control depnding on how fast I drive.

i could see maybe 30, but your math bust be off, or your running with some dead cilenders if your getting 38. they are very fuel efficiant for a 6 cyl but not the best, hell the new mustangs are doing 36 highway, 30 city >_<
