Gas Mileage?

Have a question about Gas mileage, my engine and few mods are in my sig and I seem to get about 130 miles to a tank (according to the odometer) and it costs me like $21-$23 to fill the tank, which is draining me pretty good, does this seem right and im just not used to this motor yet? my iroc was only a 305TBI stock so i guess its a pretty good change.. the car does need a tuneup does this effect it?

Most (if not all) of the mods you've done should increase gas mileage.. Of course this also depends on how heavy your foot is.

A tuneup would definately help gas mileage.
