To be honest, i was suprised how good my highway fuel is.

On a normal day, driving to school and back i probably get 14 mpg or so, maybe less like 12, thats a combination of some hilly roads and then a 8 mile stretch on the highway.

The other day i drove to Buffalo New York from CT which was a 400 mile trip and i was getting id say 25 mpg or so. i was pleased with the results of the trip.

over all it seems to heavily depend on the terrain and how far to the floor my foot is. Stomping on it i see about 8 mpg or so. so as long as im light on the throttle i see pretty decent numbers.

One time i drove on a full tank without boosting at all (VERY HARD) and i was seeing 20 mpg around town.

Interesting thought, with let's say a somewhat average set of 550's and 1680's for instance, and 90% duty cycle, that we can be injecting at the rate of 1 gallon a minute!

Wait so you think paying 2.10 per gallon is shocking? I pay close to 3.30 per gallon for 93 oct.

I pay $1.30 CAD for a liter of 94 octane. Thats like paying 4.90$ for a US gallon. I hate taxes.

Now that is a little more outrageous! It's up around $3.50/gallon here for premium, and gas just went up to ~95 dollars/barrel, so it's only going to get worse.
