Here is an example: I left my house last Sunday with a full tank and drove 8-9 miles to wegmans then cruised to and from the meet and burned around a quarter tank (barely). Or I can drive to work in south philly then to collegville and back home (130 miles) and have just under a half tank.

I average about 220 to 230 on a tank, mixed highway and local.

thats better then what I get on 93.
when my car was 100% bone stock, doing all highway driving, best I would get was 320 to a full tank.

around town now with the crappy tune I have im lucky if I crack 220 on a full tank.

at the track I'm lucky if I see 8mpg, usually its between 4-6

Thats what I've been getting these last couple of tanks since I've been DD my car. There is no real highway driving in there, all stop and go.

Did you get tuned or Petey got you on a basemap for right now?

I could see those twins drinking mad fuel, but that doesn't sound bad.



I was just curious as to how much more comsumption went up after you guys switched over... Its all still in how you drive I guess.

I drive pretty conservatively. I generally do all highway to and from work and cruise around 70 or so. I'd say so far I lost maybe 1-2 miles per gallon at worst. It's been a lot better than I thought it would be.
