mpg's:how many are you getting?
Did a quick test last night to see how fast the fc was going through gas. Emptied the gas tank completely, poured in roughly half a gallon of 87 octane and let it idle at exactly 1k. It took right around 23 minutes for the engine to die, is that about right for an n/a 13b? I know rotaries aren't notorious for high gas mileage but this seems a little too low. I only let it idle because i dont have insurance on it YET so i cant drive it around :/

Depends on year/model. I'm getting about 13, with a slightly modded S5 TII. I should be getting 16/24 according to theFAQ. 17/25 for a S5 manual, 17/24 for auto and, like I said, 16/24 for turbo.

Unless your tank is very clean it is probably not a good thing to rely on the bottom of the barrel to run your car off of as there is often too much gunk and impurities sloshing around the lower depths of the tank which could clog up the fuel sock, fuel filter and so on.

I get about 180 to a full tank and that calculates out to ~15mpg.
'88 GTU (S4 N/A)
I believe a stock tank is like 13gal, max. My "full tank" is usually a 12 - 12.5 gallon fill.

In my t2, if I can manage to stay out of boost, I'd do around 16~18 on the street, when I drove the car home from LA to Sacramento, I did around 23~25 mpg cruising
minior mods, modified stock air box (holes cut in it so you can hear the bov more, switching over to a hks intake filter soon), dp 2.5 - 3 inchs, crappy apexi exhaust, fcd and I have a cat with emissions fully intact
but my civic hx blows my fc out the water when it comes to MPG

8-9 mpg beating the hell out of it and 28 on the hwy going ~75mph.
If my haltech had sequential injection Im sure I could do better on the hwy.
23min for a half gallon seems a bit much but then again I dont know what stock idle afr is.

With my old set up (intake, rev II exhaust, walbro 255) I would get about 14-16 but I do minimal freeway driving so that is on the low side. Now with the new set up I am hoping for better mpg but i am expecting worse, if that makes sense.
