How do you actually SEE inside of the fuel filter? Isn't it sealed? I have never seen inside of a fuel filter because I've never seen one that isn't sealed and totally enclosed.

400 miles out of every last drop of 16 gals=25MPG
I've NEVER gotten more than 315 and that was a whole tank cruising between 60-70 on the interstate.
seriously? to work and back I average 27-29 mpg when i'm on i-95 best ever being 31.0 mpg on fill up (computer said 31.9)....the last month or more I have been taking us1 so many stop lights on teh way but little to no traffic in the morning, after work is another story and I'm still averaging 24-26 mpg and i average 100 miles per day. On the other hand my wife and a few other friends make fun of me and say i'm the only 23 year old she has met that drives like a grandma.

I get about 22.8 mpg mixed driving on mine... I used to get 26-28 mpg mixed with a max of 29.4 mpg (cross country drive on freeway with cruise set at 75mph)...I have 46,000 on mine and need to change my filter...its stock... I apparently am slipping on my up keep... 
I finally took the plunge and changed mine a week or so ago and may I say that with 51k on mine it looked fine. I cut it open and was surprized to see it as clean as a new one. 
I only fill up at two places one is a Pan store and the other is a Murphy (Walmart).
BTW the little green clip, you slightly depress it. Dont pull it out.

Best I did was computer reading of 28 mpg going down to NC at 75-80 mph. The 280-mile trip used 3/4 of a tank, then I refilled, so I don't know what I may have gotten for a full tank. I'll have to keep an eye on it as the miles start to add up.
I've gone 350 once, usually more like 320 when I fill up though, my car has about 33K in 41 months.
So this fuel filter doesn't require tank removal after all?

I drove to NYC this past summer. At 70mph I got 30-31mpg with my 5-speed. This was going through the mountains of PA and NJ. I think I got 29 mpg in OH.
I have 3.55s.
