Worked out my MPG for first time today...

this was combined highway and street driving with a little heavy foot action and AC on.
I got 15.632961997288748305467690917307 MPG (imperial) or 13.017164627202892001807501129697 miles per US gallon

I would have rounded the figures down, but i feel those extra figures are important - they make it look more fuel efficient hahaha.

Motors got 65k on it...what do you guys think?

Actually, I did have it tuned. I flew out Steve Kan from Texas to street tune it.
I also have a heavy right foot.

That seems a bit thirsty Bob.

My previous FD had intake, cat back, Apexi FC, 12.5 psi boost, 60k miles. General driving, cruising around with heavy foot, AC off, = 17.5 UK mpg.

Current FD has intake, mid pipe, cat back, 12 psi boost, 8k miles. 18.5 mpg.

The AC would make a big difference I guess, I find I never need to use it over here!

I believed antcee was running the AEM EMS. For some reason, they're more thristy than the PFC. that's why I took mine off the car and runs pfc in it. mpg was horrible no matter how lean I run them.
