some of you must not get the idea of "warming the car up" before beating on it.

If you hit the 10psi boost cut, you're on it too soon

Regardless, i save the full boost conditions for the track, and the 6 mpg that it promotes

cars have better gas mileage in hot weather than cold weather, car runs richer in cold weather. It takes longer for engine to warm up in the cold.

This is true, my Altima gets about 3 mpg more with the my cold air intake converted to short ram. Haven't had an experience with really hot weather in that car yet.

Holy old thread bump!

Amusing to see people frustrated with a full tank of gas costing $30.00!

I was able to control myself from boosting the car for about more than a week. I was shifting at 3000rpm and I got it to 310mpg. and that's with Las Vegas heat around october last year. the car has 310 WHP.
