    I have noticed that the gas milage of the car is slowly increasing. Is this due to the new engine braking in? It started out at 17.5 and is now at 19.9. I am almost at 300 miles now. Just courious, as this is very interesting as the how high the reading will actually go.

    I have also noticed that the car seems to be getting stronger, but this could be me getting better with the stick.

    I noticed the same thing at about that mileage and still feel it was because i was winding it out a lot more and just plain beating on it when i first bought it. I get 18.5 now and 16.5 then, but i also added a K&N filter and pulled the mufflers so that may account for my difference.:shrug:
