Getting around 18 mpg to 20 mpg.

Shifting gears at 2.5k rpms staying off boost. Only 0-3 WOT pulls each gas fill up.

I was going to get get my tuner to optimize my tune for better mileage but lost my cell phone so I used the cash to get another.

In the mean time I tried that closed loop tune from the ECUflash section but for my a/f ratio to be 15.5 target area I have to set the value in the tables to 13.5? Dont understand why that is.. But when I did that it gave me 22 mpg with a lot of WOT pulls to test my new muffler. But for now I put back the original tune until I figure it out.

^not bad, for a while i was getting about 220-230 miles out of a full tank, driving alot in the city. all this is on a stock turbo, full bolt ons...mileage should be better on the freeway once i get my gt35r on and a tune...at least when not in boost lol

i get anywhere from 18-21....usually around 19-20 depending on how I drive. I got WOT a lot though. When I bought this car I just came to terms with the fact that the gas mileage sucks. Fun is more important to me than gas. i just do what I do and when the needle gets low, I fill it back up lol

When I moved from FOrt Leavenworth to Fort Gordon I got between 23 and 26mpg on the long high way drive staying outta boost about 95% of the time. Same with my Move from Fort Gordon to Fort Riley.

I will say though I did notice that it seems like the farther into my trip I go the better the gas milage gets.

Guys, the posts would have more relevance if we stuck to MPG instead of miles per tank.

I see 16-19MPG - 95% city, WOT whenever possible, revving high, almost never dipping below 3500RPM.

Miles per tank divided by gallons in a tank...

No one will believe me, but oh well. I get 22-24mpg for commuting (90-95% city), and 27-30 mpg when I drive highway. I love my car :-)

Mods are HKS intake, HKS 272 cams, full exhaust, walbro, wideband, and self tune. Wideband is set so cruise is 15.4:1 a/f.
