I was wondering, what do you high 12, low 13 second people get for gas mileage? I know I shouldn't worry about gas mileage if I am going to mod my car up alot, i was just curious.
 
As I mod mine, as long as it's tuned right I just keep getting better gas mileage.

I'd guess mine as a high 12 and I get about 33 on the highway on the same exact trip that used to take 24mpg stock(ish).

As long as you keep it well tuned you should stay at least the same as stock. The trick is since you have more power, you tend to use it more, therefore using more fuel. If you drive the same as before it'll usually just get better. If you drive more aggresively it'll drop like a rock.
