I still get 11 on average, and without hills and doing 60-65, I have gotten as high as 14. It has alot more power with this Predator and Air Raid and you can really feel the higher hp and torque.

Thanks, my hope that was someone else looking at the V10 vs Diesel would be able to use my post to help make there decision. I know I made the right one!

I had looked into the Diablo Sport, but having to use 91 octane would increase my fuel costs, meaning it would actually cost me more to run...if there was a big difference in mileage I may consider, but for only 1 mpg I don't think it would be worth it. Not ready for power mods just yet....since the election most of my mod money has gone to ammo and firearms

The intake system is something I should consider...I know when I put a cold air intake on one of my cars I got about 2mpg better mileage, so I guess I'll need a little more research on the Air Raid system.

Other thing I really need to try is removing the roof rack bars, they stick up about 4 inches and I would bet add to the drag. Just haven't pulled them off....my problem is that as soon as I take them off I'll need them to haul something!
