First off, welcome to the forum from Indiana.... Enjoy. I get about 43 MPG with equipment in my SIG. Your mileage seems very low to me. Perhaps you need to do some more tweaking on the PCIII.

Sorry for screamin,
Just wondering if the low mileage is because of the 2008I heard they changed the cam in the o8 models
I winder if that screwed up the mileage.
