A failed experiment (sigh)

It's a tool, use it the way it's supposed to be used =)

24mpg calculated after filling up again last week. Had to stay under 4K rpms when shifting and kept the boost under 0 whenever possible, except when passing slow idiots on the freeway, I'd hit 1.5bar. This is driving on stop-n-go and freeway. And my car might still be a bit rich since I don't have my lower IC pipe yet which it was tuned for.
It's kinda hard to not boost, but this car is still pretty fun driving "normally". But now that gas went down under $3/gallon here for 93... "air-drying" the car is fun again!
btw... I think the gas warning comes on at about 2 gallons left in the tank. I've done/noticed that a few times.
