8579, turboed gas mileage???
Posted by JustOne, Sep-20-01 05:18 AM
I was just wondering what kind of gas mileage everyone gets. Not how many miles per gallon but more how many miles out of a tank of gas?

My gas mileage has gone to crap. But I know I am sill running rich and my car still needs to be tuned more.

Mine stayed fairly close to stock, believe it or not. I still managed to get 300-320 out of a tank.

I got like 460 miles out of a tank when I drove from Chico to Bakersfield. That was the first night I got my turbo put in...it was like watching a child being born. *sniff sniff*

Living at college, I only drive my car a few days a week. For those few days, I go full throttle all the time. I see about 200-230 miles to the tank on average.

On long trips, I have gotten as high as 480 miles to the tank.

I get the same too, unless i'm going full boost all the time.
If i race a bunch of times i get about 15-18 mpg which hurts when gas was higher.

Yeah, it seems I'm somewhere around 17 MPG around town b/c I boost all the time, and almost 30 MPG on the highway. Talk about your extremes.
