Pardon me, but if you have a tuned car the least thing you will do is driving like your ol' grandma. I got 22-24 mpg, mods on the car are uel header, oft stage 2 93oct and still considering final gear (4.67), so will get worse

An OFT tune could get you maybe even 5mpg if you truly drive like a grandma, like another 10 peak HP and torque, and decrease some of that torque dip.
The toughest part about modding a car however is being easy on the gas. Every time i get a new part, i drive the car like i just got it.

My average mileage actually improved when I put the supercharger on. I get around 25-26 MPG average, mix of city and highway.

I found that since the car has more power, I don't have to shove my foot through the floor to get an answer from it.

Of course when I'm romping on it a lot, that tank's MPG suffer proportionally.

My average mpg, mostly around town, is 21. I have oft 93 tune with crawford intake spacers.

Totally get what you mean. In my case an FD upgrade actually mildly improved my own economy, but I have way too much fun winding out the gears to think of forced induction.

I don't hoon my car but when I see a long stretch, I do take it up to redline (at least 7 times a week)

91 octane from petro Canada

I'm sitting at 8.1 -- I'm probably in either sport or manual mode 60% of the time, mix of city and highway.

I use Ultramar 91 and notice absolutely zero difference if I use Shell 91.

Been holding steady at 27.7 mpg for a long time now.

Somerandom18 · 11-20-2016, 05:04 PM

18-28 depending on my mood in the city. 34-36 highway.

Bless your heart if you went with a shorter final, like the 4.5-4.7's I've seen mentioned. The 6th gear cruising RPMs are annoyingly high already in my opinion. I've always said this car needs a 7th gear.

I still had another 20 miles to go maybe to bury the needle. 75% hwy rest on 40mph roads with light traffic.
With 18x9.5 rotiform tmb I would barely get 210 by the time the light came on. Switched to 17x7.5 rpf1s and noticed a slight improvement in mpg.

Forgot to actually post mine. Averaging around 12L/100km A/T mostly city driven. Still a feather weight compared to my past V8's.
