Miles Per Tank?

I recently did a bunch of upgrades to my Turbo II (safc, new turbo..etc..), and amazing I'm getting about 50 miles per tank MORE than what I had been getting.

Usually about 260 Miles Per Tank, these days (whereas before I ran out of gas at 220)

Wondering what the norm is.

I'm not sure, because my gauge is broke. But I normally refill it at 200 miles.

Ok, you N/A guys dont count.

I got 150 miles on a tank, with bad spark plugs, old O2 sensor, old fuel filter, nasty fluids (oil, tranny, coolant), and some other crap.

I've done all that stuff, but haven't driven it yet on a full tank.
I filled it up about halfway, and got close to 100 miles if I remember correctly, somewhere like 80 or 90 miles.

Your are probably seeing better fuel economy thanks to your SAFC. If you boost for the majority of that tank, it will be in the mid 100's

lol yea it kinda sucks. But again, l am vacuum leaking a bit so its causing a bit of a rich condition. But I dont think the injectors and fuel pump help much either.
