warm and fuzzy thinking about it.

My guess is the OP's problem is that he's made significant "sound" mods. A car that SOUNDS good inspires the driver to drive it such that it can be heard.

LOL, I know what you mean but I can promise you my driving habits are well behaved.

Also, I'm not a fan at all of the sound of this car, in fact it sounds like a VW sohc 2.0. And I seriously dislike VWs. My fiance had a Turbo Beetle, big mistake.

I run that TRD exhaust + K&N drop in combo. No significant mileage changes notices since the install.
If you dropped it without correcting the FRONT toe angle you could be plowing your way to crappy mileage, and prematurely worn front tires. Rear toe remained within spec. after the install of my TRD suspension.

Im actually running zero toe. I did the alignment myself. I was going to run it a little positive since its so twitchy but its not that bad.

I noticed when i put 205s driving pretty much the same my mpg dropped between 1 to 1.5 mpg than it used to be depending on the week which i attribute to increased rolling resistance.
