Our ST's mileage is very susceptible to valve adjustment, throttle body
adjustment and the tune. So, if you know you have a good tune
downloaded, check the valve adjustment and throttle body synch.
I got back from a trip to San Diego at Christmas which returned around
40mpg. Very low for me. A new tune, valve adjustment and throttle body
synch put the mileage back up to 52mpg. As a side benefit, keeping the
throttle bodies closely synched will eliminate most of the vibration the
motor produces too.
