re. APEXi and other boost controllers/bad fuel mileage

[Swann, Benjamin R. (BSWANN)]

> Fuel consumption really seems to suck tho'.  Between the 
full mark and the first part of the red on the gauge, I'm getting like 
250 miles.  I haven't done the math with the receipts I have to see 
what actual mileage is.<

Even under the worst driving - around town, short trips in cold weather, or
pulling loaded trailier at high speed, I never get less than 300 miles to
the tank.  My worst gas mileage (Tank Average) is around 22 - that is with
me trying to use more gas, stoplight accel, etc.  

My combined around town/highway is more like 25, and my highway mileage is
more like 28MPG.

It is interesting to note, my Turbo Q Wagon gets better mileage than the
ligher 4000 Q which averages around 20MPG.

Just giving some reference points for gas mileage.
