Re: How bad is gas mileage affected?

Before the turbo upgrade I was between 20-30 depending on how I drove during the tank of gas. After the turbo upgrade, I drove from FL to MA and averaged 27 mpg. Lately when I drive though (city area), 12-13 mpg. I don't get to drive my car that often so when I do, I flex the muscles a bit.

Re: How bad is gas mileage affected?

I get 22 to a little over 24, but I don't get on the gas a lot. One time I got like 14 when I went to get my emissions done (I think they jacked my gas somehow ).

Re: How bad is gas mileage affected?

Thank God I live in Texas,

I should never have to deal with emissions in my lifetime.

Don't they have some sort of inspection you have to pass. And get a decal on your car?

Re: How bad is gas mileage affected?

I live in San Antonio and go to school in college station. Endlessheart, we live a out and hour away from each other, in fact im going to houston on friday. My state inspection involves me handing the keys over to someone. They start the car, check the brake lights, taillights, and headlights, then they put the sticker on.

They arent out of a 3g Eclipse they are just the third generation of lifters and are supposed to eliminate lifter tick for the most part. You will still get it occasionally but it is much better.

And for all of you who have easy emissions testing you suck....California is the worst for emissions testing. And we also do get anything better that 91 octane fuel over here....
