gti mileage

[LL - NY]

Same as the 9-2X. And this doesn't bode well for me, as my current
(28.7Kmiles) is
22.4 MPG. Guess I'm just going to have to pay the (oil)man.

LL - NY - still amazed that my MRC Stage 1'd //S6 gets the same fuel economy
consistently as the much smaller and lighter and somewhat weaker 9-2X.
