Gas mileage, what you getting?

Avg'ing right around 20-24mpg on a stock block with out emissions running a RB header/presilencer and a straight pipe into a cheap ebay muffler, SAFC with about 10% fuel knocked out at idle to -4% at redline(still need too actually tune it better), an intake leak of some kind, either a gasket or one of the lower injector grommets, no ac/ps. And average MPH is 80+ during interstate travels and 60ish around town. 1-2 gear is always redlined before a shift, and sometimes 3rd as well. But i hope to better my numbers soon with a better CAI, instead of the cone on the end of the intake tube in the hot bay. Car also has an FD alternator an a ford escort Efan. Still need to get around to getting a cleaned/flow tested set of injectors installed and tidying up things but its driven everywhere I want it to go.
