I just got the best mpg ever 33.17 before this one I got 32.58 or so. I got to enjoy while I can get this high. I will be boosted within the next year.

 

boost shouldnt kill gas mileage at all... however if you push it hard then your mpgs will definitely drop. If you dont push a boosted tc is should put up just about the same mpgs as an N/A...

 

best with driving nice n easy and at the limit 34. but i do have an intake and exhaust that make air flow more efficient... but at $3.25/gal i dont care how much crap i get for being 6'6" and driving a toaster!

 

i can get 34 mpg on the interstate going 70 mph, but that doesn't happen often...that speedometer seems to keep creeping after that...

 

29.9's my best

 

you motherf*ckers! ive been averaging around 22mpg.

 

no need to get upset, i can only pull off 34 mpg when i'm driving like a granny, when i'm driving like i stole it, i only get like 17 mpg. but i usualy average about 22-25 mpg.

 

My best was 29.8. My average is probably 25-26. Thats rather sad considering I hardly step on the gas past 1/4 throttle.

 

When I got that mpg I was driving 75 and getting on it from time to time

 

best i got was 31 on the I-5 going to norcal
of course u know everyone goes at 80

got 26 mostly city driving once
was in cold weather it was awesome

and i have a 5 speed

 

I think over 31mpg is exaggerating. Btw, how do you guys calculate?

 

Its called mods! When you have CAI and full exhaust w/Header plus other things the mpg goes up when you stay off of the gas. To calculate mpg fill up and reset you trip meter. When your car gets 1/8th of a tank or gaslight comes on (I like to wait until gas light b/c I still have 2 gallons left) Take how many miles driven divided by number of gals. Example if you drive 350 miles and put 12.45 gals = 28.11 MPG

 

My tC rocks!! I get insane gas mileage, so much that no one believes it until they see it. So i'm not even gonna mention how much, i've been flamed so much for "lying" about my MPGs, whatever. In some instances turbos even give better gas mileage, as long as you stay off the gas, which, lets face it, you won't be able to do, haha.

Happy boosting!

Boosting is not for me, don't get me wrong, i love the feeling, but it almost feels like cheating? I hope it works out for you!!

 

how is everyone getting their numbers? im not sure cuz i dont have a meter or anything, did u calculate it somehow?

 

 

thanks! im hoping for a high number cuz i barely see gas stations anymore since i went from a 5,000lb suv to a 2900lb car....just wanna see the difference since the changeover....i work 5 days a week, about 10miles a day and $15 @ $2.25 a gal lasts me all week, i use to go through $50 a week in my truck

Are you serious?

 

Yes. I didn't explain myself sorry about that here it goes. CAI allows then engine to breathe easier so thus helping the mpg out, After I installed the header eliminating the catalytic converter and installed custom 2.5" exhaust (my custom exhaust doesn't throw a cel) the engine exhaust gasses flow freely allowing engine to breathe easier b/c of the low back pressure. I have a lightweight flywheel and it helps out a little as well the low inertia allows to maintain the speed with less fuel consumption.
