Fuel economy and the new performance engine

Stephen just got back from Arizona, and our black automatic 'test'
car fitted with the new high performance engine, exhaust, shocks,
springs, and a few other secret projects averaged 26 mpg for the 1200
or so miles highway trip from Phoenix to Houston. Having no real
highway experience with a stock automatic I can't say if this is
great or just good, but I think it's a bit less than a stock
automatic. I used to average around 28-29 in my stock five-speed on
long highway trips (Phoenix-Nashville, Phoenix-Cincinnati,
Houston-St. Louis).
YMMV :-)
