Thumbs up Increase in gas mileage.

So just recently I've hit a record for MPG in my 1998 SC300...an average of 24MPG! I don't know what it is that I'm doing differently. But hey, it works for me. I've been on the highway maybe one day more often than usual, but this is the highest it's been since the year and a half I've owned the car. I run 93 octane Chevron Techron fuel and Castrol Syntec blend 5w-30 oil. I'd sure like to keep this up, any guesses?

I get 20-21mpg on my 1JZGTE going 80-100mph and passing people all the time lol..... I ran leaded fuel in it not thinkin so the O2 sensor isnt in the best shape, i might do a group buy on em soon.

I get 25ish if i drive normally on long trips. I was getting 22ish on my original 2JZGE (1992 engine) with stock exhaust with mufflers bolted off, and a KN filter.
