I have noticed over the years a dramtic drop in fool economy here in CA
when we went to year 'round RFG II fool.

I too only see ~280-300 per tankfull from my 5ktq (1.8bar mod) but that
is admittedly with some heavy leadfooting and mostly stop and go around
town miles. I can and do eek out over 400 miles from a tank but it has
to be all highway miles to do so.

Ever since RFG II every single car I have owned has had fool economy
reduced 10-20% here in good ol' CA. HTH...

Interested to hear what others are getting as well, especially in CA.
