I get 11 mpg.... fuck all of you.

Time to go stand alone and rebuild time.

(The car is running 10's in the AFR range and I am SEVERELY heavy footed. I love my boost.)

you're getting a happy 11mpg. If we were to calculate happy MPG we'd be in your boat.

yeah and I bet you're smiling everytime you're boosting with the pedal all the way down.

If you're not then those aren't happy mpg.

Well once the engine is back in im sure he will be, it's a little strange boosting with half of the compressor wheel intact.

Well, I was disappointed with my mpgs last Saturday.
I went to a rx7 meet in the upstate, drove around an in the mountains.
I got gas once when I was up there, then yesterday.
Results: 22.6 and 23.2

Well I guess thats my norm.
I was hoping for 25 or better.

Gosh.. I "feel" like I'm getting 12-14MPG in my T2 vert. If I wasn't so cheap and just top off the tank, I'd find out. Stop putting in 20 bucks at a time! lol

But I like keeping the needle around 4K in 3rd gear.
