FAQ! Go! Top of the 2nd gen section has the FAQ, with EPA mileage numbers for your car, among other things.

Or search for Gas Mileage. You'll be reading from now till next year.

However, depending on how you drive, you should be able to get 22-25 highway in light cruising, 15-18 city when gentle, a bit less if driving hard, and for a track day spending most of your time in boost, you don't want to know.

I would imagine in the 16-22mpg range depending on how much you get on it.

The only way to increase your fuel economy with an FC is to get some form of fuel control, and even then, the FC isnt a gas sipper by any stretch of the imagination.

I just squeezed 34MPG out of TII... that being said... I must have burned 20 gallons of gas road tuning the Haltech and getting the O2 Sensor calibrated as best i possible can before I filled it up last week.

Also.. I NEVER hit boost while driving and NEVER went over 65MPH to get that MPG.

My car gets like 12MPG when I'n floggin it... But, You gotta pay to play!!!!

On a stock car.. 20-25 MPG on the highway is to be expected. 18 if your prone to picking up fat chicks along the highway!!
