I didn't even go into boost at all, and I'm completely stock. Since buying the car a month ago I've already spend $282.55 on gas alone. I seriously have to force myself not to drive the car because it's costing me a fortune.
Estimated 22mpg city and 30mph highway my ass.
its all vaccume and throttle percentage, since i got my scan gauge i can keep better track of it, i get around 28-29 mpg on the high way at 70 to 80 mph, if do 65 i get 30 mpg.
stay below 18% on the throttle, and keep vac between 10 and 13, also try to maintain a set speed, slowing down and accelerating again repeatedly kills gas mileage.
you want want to read the how to on cruise control also.
