Spark plugs...maybe. Why dont your turn down your boost for daily driving, then turn it up for those trips down the 1320. It could be you need plugs, but do not just replace plugs, replace plug wires, plugs, clean your K&N, and get a lighter foot. But without knowing exactly how bad of milage you are getting its kinda hard to say, IMO. Hope this helps, later.

when i had a bpu++ supra tt and went wot around 140+ (yes stupid on highway), I could actually SEE the fuel indicator going down! O.o

no joke

be glad you have a 4 cylinder and stay off boost if you want to conserve gas, otherwise just buy a bucket honduh or prius as your commuter

I am running the mods in my sig without a tune (waiting on my E-Flash) and I get anywhere between 18-22 depending on my driving style.

I get 1.5 trips to work per tank. I fill up at the gas station 5 times per week (typically monday morning, tuesday afternoon, wednesday evening, friday afternoon, and at some point on saturday) which is around $925 per month in gas. If you want gas milage these days, you gotta buy a Hybrid

yeah... one thing that owns me is my gas bill. I get around 17mpg under normal and conservative circumstances.

Thanks!

Yeah ever since I put the exhaust on I noticed it went down alot. I love boost so gas isn't on my list of worries right now, thanks to the career I have right now. I have other mods aiding to the descent of my MPG.

I love my 8

+1

I always average about 17mpg and get about 200 miles out of it, maybe a little more. I tried driving it really easy for a full tank but it made very little difference. I think I got an extra 15 miles out of it which is about 1.5 mpg better.

Oh well
