Have your grandma drive the car for a week and see what mileage she gets, either that or drive your car like her. In order to get those MPG #s you have to stay off of the secondary turbo and accelerate off of stoplights like you're driving a '77 Volvo station wagon.

LoL, I usually try to keep the shifts under 3k, and little to no boost. Im also running non-seq which gives me less of a reason to hit boost. Does non-seq affect this?

Most people get between 11 on the low side and 14 on the high side in city only driving. Mixing in more highway miles will increase that of course.

When I started looking up stuff on the web about FD's (probably about 5 years ago), there was a FAQ around which had some info about the gas mileage. It was stated that 13mpg city was about the norm.

you bought a sports car face it it's gonna get bad mileage. Not trying to be a dick but if you wanted good gas mileage you picked the wrong car.

Well I was just wondering. I drive the car as little as possible because of mileage and wear on the car.
