spark plugs? air filter? in boost too much? fuel filter? stock ecu? how many miles?

Check my sig for my specs, but I get 300 in almost 100% city driving. I can get well over 350 on long trips.

im a 3.0, and yeah i drive "spirited", and im 99% city driving...so do you think its just the car, not anything to do with spark plugs, air filter, etc. ?

I get between 200 to 400 miles, depending on how much highway I do.

200 --> 100% city

400 --> about 80% highway, 20% city

400+ --> 100% highway

yeah I didn't realize you were 3.0... they blow on gas mileage, but thank god for tanking economy! right.. right?

250 sounds about right for 99% city.
