In contrast to Travis's incredible 26+mpg feet of tuning my last tank returned a stellar 16.9mpg on factory tune. This was city/highway mixed driving on sticky re-01r's with fresh fluids throughout.

My next tank may be even lower as highway MPG is clearly low at anything over 85mph.

I also have a bit of heavy foot.

The EVO's worth it.

Hey Dave, I passed the background check required to register here finally...

Good run last night, hope to see the video, If only I didn't bang the rev limiter it would have been very close .

Oh, and to everyone else, Hi I'm Matt, some may have seen me around at the track, starlite, miracle mile or whatever.... I know Denny, Dave (Canexican) and MrTim.

Heres a pic of my car,


And one of our local guys knows Kyle's tail lights very well.

Good meeting you yesterday man. Yeah, that was a freakin' awesome run. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to hook up that camera...just not enough time to get it mounted and turned on. Don't worry, i'm sure there will be a next time (the sound in the tunnel was amazing!)

Give me a reminder of the Zelienople drags when that time comes around. I'd love to see what would happen from a stop . See ya around!

Yes that was Tyger... and I now have his wheels on my car

The blue GTO was running Potenza RE01R street tires, as he has no intrest in drag racing and getting him out to the FLD's is a chore enough.

I'm averaging about 18-19 in the X in break-in mode so I'm sure I won't be much better.
