On the way to, around, and from the UMG I averaged 27mpg. That included messing around with a pack of about 30 vettes I met up with, and some cavaliars wanted to race out of the toll booths in chicago.
15g's, 560's, emanage, dsm smic's....
edit- forgot this is with the corrected speedo gear.

my last fill up was 22 mpg. lots of boosting, and even more idling as I chased small little goofs. also lots of city driving. I have done much more "spirited driving" this tank and should be even less. woot woot.

TH if you have anything larger than about 390cc injectors or at minimum a piggyback or adjustable fuel pressure regulator you will know if you have larger injectors because your car will run like absolute crap. large boost leaks will cause you to run rich. plus the cars are just factory set up to run rich. tire inflation, dragging brakes (even parking), or weak O2 sensors will also really drop gas mileage.

Sad to say I really don't remember writing that at all . I have no clue either . I belive It was not the fire water , but it was like sleep depravation.
I think I ment to say that yes I have a second set of injectors. It will be a winter project to do if not spring.. I think in the last email i said my cars claim to fame was that I can start it cold and it runs great but start driving it and get it to 2500rpm , It starts to get "Bucky" and back fires sputters ect. After it warms up doesn't do it again. Drive it the rest of the day and it won't do it again.
It's like I would love for this car to run right for one week . Every week I drive it , it has drove me in the hole for something.... GRRRRRR
