Default What kinda MPG are you guys getting?

So I finally filled up the gas tank on my 951 (I usually only put $20 in at a time... used to have bad luck whenever I fill up the tank ) and I am very pleased with the fuel economy I am getting.. 27 mpg and that is a good amount of boosting

How does this compare to a stock 951?

That's pretty good!! I've only managed 29 mpg from mine. (on intestate, but over 3 mountain passes)
EDIT: Gas up in Bozeman, MT and the car has enough range to take me to Oregon but I usually fill up again in C'dA,ID or Tri-Cities, WA.

Good lord y'all! I wish I could get that in the city! I'll typically get high 18's, but that's with a lot of rush hour driving and a Vitesse Stage III...

On pure hwy driving, the best I've been able to manage has been 26-27 (then again, I rarely actually go the cruising speed for "max" economy)

Mixed city/hwy driving I was getting around 17mpg. I was only getting 16-17 in hg at hot idle. I'm hoping once I get it back together it will be significantly better.

Around town i usually get a little under 20. Most of my driving now days is highway (40 miles round trip) to and from school and i am pulling about 25mpg. My morning commute i am almost always in some kind of traffic so that lowers it a little. While on the track at Pocono i worked it out to be around 14mpg.. .

City/highway mixed driving renders low to mid 20's IIRC. I mostly just use it to commute to work. Occaisonal highway driving, usually at WOT...

OT? Try the "Car Care" iPhone/iTouch app. It's very painless to track gas consumption without feeling like a data geek.
