i was just wondering what kind of gas milage u guys out there with turboed 4s r gettin. ive been keepin track of my mpg and im right round 28-29. im running 5 psi in my car right now and i want to go past that. i have all the fuel upgrades i need i just never put them in because these gas prices shot over 3 bucks. and seeing how i dont have a job right now and have no intention on finding one, i just cant afford to spend more.

I bet I could get better mpg, but I engine brake alot because my rear brake pads are SHOT and they squeel like hell if they arent hot. Im betting i could prolly bump it like 1.5 better if I just used my brakes all the time, or if I cruised around in residential areas in 5th gear at like 500 rpm...lol

something is just wrong with my car. it got a horrible dyno and i don't get that great of gas mileage.
i'm goingto try using some STP stuff or maybe seafoam and get it back up to par, but it is looking dismal

im actually gettin better milage now with the turbo then before. i figured with the more power i would have my foot down a lot more but i guess not.

more power with less weight equals less "work" the engine is doing.
like my buddies s10 dropped a small block in it, and he gets better gas mileage now because he never has to downshift

I don't think I even want to know what my mileage is. I might stop driving.
Thankfully my office is 70 yards from my room. Chow hall is a little further than that :)
