Upgraded fuel pump....Gas mileage???
I am about to buy a Walbro fuel pump and was wondering how badly it will affect my gas mileage. Also which one should I get, the 190 ltr/ hr. or the 255?
Thnx for any info

I've got the 255 and I just got 21 on a spirited back road jaunt the other day. Some "spirited" anyway. It doesn't seem to have had any effect on my fuel consumption.

I'm pulling out 3% at idle but that's it, w/the safc.

I get bad mpg in the city... rewired 255.

Mostly because its running rich at idle, i need an S-AFC.

Highway i think i could do 25+ mpg at 110-120km/h
