i dont know how many gallons our tanks hold but 130 miles out of a 1/2 tank was like 14 mpg, i didnt boost past 5 psi for the 130 mile trip and i dyno at 420whp on pump gas

Rotarie are thirsty but as s tated , much more into boost. Reason to me is, singles get better mileage because the boost comes up at higher rpm and provide you a wider low rpm range to cruise and stay out of boost.
That's why i'm starting with going non seq and have it properly tuned.

For the most part your porting and tune is what's going to effect your mileage. Not a particular hp number. Those of you with extra overlap on your primaries and to rich an A/F mixure under vacuum are never gonna have good cruising mpg. Why? Too much of your fuel is being drawn out the exhaust and waisted. You just have to know what your doing and have specific goals in mined when your building these cars.

So so right. Hell I can't stay off boost with my seq because of the quick spool. As soon as I hit boost (even slightly) my mpg goes to ****. That's why when I rebuild my engine, I'm going Gt-35r with higher compression 9.7 rotors. This should still give me decent bottom end while not hitting boost too soon, therefore giving me better around town fuel economy.

I get around 260-290km out of one full tank. I have 850cc primaries/1600cc sec, but who cares about mileage it's all about the boost!

I was constantly getting 350-400miles from a tank of completely off-boost (ideally no more than -0.2bar) with over 400@wheels (550/1680). Same mpg I got with stock twins on stock injectors for the same driving - it's simply down to the fuel map on cruise and how smoothly you can use the throttle.

Damn you guys be getting some good azz gas mileage. I have microtech LT-8 and I even lean it out a lil' bit more to see if gas mileage will make a difference... I'm wandering will the HKS Twin Power help at all or not much of a difference....?
