I know you said "FE", but I'll toss in my .02 here anyway. My 418W made 499HP and 524TQ on the dyno and I was a little bit worried about fuel mileage with an 18 gallon cell; not for the cost, but because I wanted to be able to go a reasonable distance (200+ miles) between fill-ups on a road trip. I was hoping for 10-12 mpg and was delighted to find that I can get 13-14 around town and 16+ on the highway.

If my car got 6 miles to the gallon and gas were $5.00, I'd still be smiling; I'd just need a bigger gas tank!
