[s-cars] re: mileage

[marc weiner]

My car has 215k miles on it, runs up to 26 psi of boost with Hoppen Stage IV
mods (RS2 turbo, exhaust manifold, and injectors, Lehman head and lower
compression 8.5:1 pistons, Lehman 3.0 Bar PT chipset), K&N panel filter in
stock air box, and 3"Strommung turbo back (3x gen).  I commute approx 110
miles/day about 3-4 days a week from Ft. Collins to Denver and the rest is
around town in Ft. Fun, CO.  My MPG is consistently in the 19-20 range and I
hammer it hard and often, rarely drive as slow as HAP states he drives.
Just finished up w/ my 3rd timing belt change/ O2 sensor and plug set.  I
haven't done the egg under the pedal thing for as long as I can remember b/c
it's too damn boring.  But my guess is on cruise control at around 75 mph I
would be in the mid twenties for mpg.
