best gas mileage?
 
whats the best gas mileage u have got in your fd?
stock or modified...
interstate or city driving...

on my last road trip i was amazed at the difference between driving it hard in town and keeping my foot out of it cruising at interstate speeds.

25mpg partially boosting - averaged over 1300 miles from NC.

Best ever on the stock engine was about 24 mpg during a 120 mile cruise to K.C., where I ran sensibly and stayed around 75 mph and out of the boost for long periods.

Best I've gotten is 415km on a full 65 liter tank of Shell 91 Premium, just regular city driving no redlining or racing, but I think this is pretty bad.
Running rich as usual, stock motor with intake, exhaust, midpipe, maybe the 17x10 wheels have something to do with it as well.

I got just better than 26 mpg round trip, Omaha to KC area. IIRC it was in the fall...no A/C and maybe 300 miles total. Probably averaging 70 mph. That's mostly flat, with rolling hills. As I recall, pretty much neutral wind, stock twins, stock ECU (at the time) and I had a passenger for half the trip. I run about 35 psi in the tires and synthetic oil.
Never had the courage to check it around town. ;)

Around 550-600km per tank on the highway when I drove to Florida. You know you can run 16 AFR in vacuum right ^_^
