Gas mileage, what you getting?
In my '89 GTU, (S5 mild port n/a, with RB mufflers an presilencer, emission's removed, AC components removed, aux sleeves an actuating rods removed, vdi open, heat-shielded cone air filter, 1/2oz. per gallon premix.) usually the range is from 18-25 MPG.
But with the latest tank, I got 27.6 MPG! Which is the highest I experienced in this car. On a regular day, the breakdown is probably... With city driving, I get about 18-20 mpg. Hwy & city, I get 20-22 mpg. Out of town RX7 meet or out of town trip, I get 22-25 mpg. But the latest tank I did, out of town trip, and hwy & city driving. Averaging 70 mph on the hwy. And got 27.6 mpg. Someday...30mpg...someday. :D |
I'm getting 18-20mpg city (15mpg on good days) and up to 25 hwy.
Intake, RB header, midpipe and HKS 52mm catback. Pineapple Aux. sleeves, SAFC (tuned to 11's = ~ 150rwhp), no premix, Avg 75mph. Good numbers BTW. 30 MPG seems doable. |
I'll post up my stats once I'm back on my home comp.

Right about 14 - 15mpg strictly city driving...
It'll creep up to about 17 - 18mpg once I start jumping on the freeway more. 13BT ported stock turbo stock IC 11 - 12psi Haltech E8 240hp at the wheels on a Dyna Pack -Ted |
I stopped keeping track a few fill ups ago, but before then... :)

S4 N/A with wired open 5/6th ports (haven't got around to fixing that). |
Here's my MPG from 12/07-6/08
10.84969789 11.08811354 22.46897453 20.78227049 24.25531915 21.83933766 23.01381693 11.44400786 10.89867579 21.60533911 22.88592867 14.04095422 14.97948527 23.05433732 18.46236312 23.56626861 24.09230769 21.86765989 24.55517241 22.7091272 23.39853301 22.44504111 23.33252876 23.8468854 24.26514697 20.70511886 |
I get about 18mpg combined, 22 on the highway.
s5 13bt + stock turbo 12psi + stock IC RB turboback MT LT8-s ~230whp |
all hwy driving without opening the secondaries I can get slightly over 20mpg (roughly...I'm converting from Km's) but when I'm denting the floor with the loud pedal its closer to 10 :( But it (was) fast as a scared monkey.

Avg'ing right around 20-24mpg on a stock block with out emissions running a RB header/presilencer and a straight pipe into a cheap ebay muffler, SAFC with about 10% fuel knocked out at idle to -4% at redline(still need too actually tune it better), an intake leak of some kind, either a gasket or one of the lower injector grommets, no ac/ps. And average MPH is 80+ during interstate travels and 60ish around town. 1-2 gear is always redlined before a shift, and sometimes 3rd as well. But i hope to better my numbers soon with a better CAI, instead of the cone on the end of the intake tube in the hot bay. Car also has an FD alternator an a ford escort Efan. Still need to get around to getting a cleaned/flow tested set of injectors installed and tidying up things but its driven everywhere I want it to go.

I believe 27.6 all highway. I get 24 mpg all highway and that's on an untuned N/A. A good tuning on a TII that stays out of boost can hit that. Now whether or not he actually got it, who knows. But I say it's possible.

I do not dive mine enough to keep track that well, but on the way back from DGRR, I averaged 28.5 MPG.
S5 TII, no emissions, RB DP & silencer, Apexi N1 EVO catback. |

The trip OD hit 400, and typically fill-ups were about 13 gallons - you do the math. Since I was doing such long distance driving, I wasn't going to take a chance and drain the gas tank that low - i.e. the fuel-low warning light never came on. If I really wanted to push it, the car would've easily hit 30mpg. This is driving between Sacramento, CA and Las Vegas, NV 100% freeway at speeds of 60mph to 80mph, just under the point where the secondaries kick in at 3,500RPM. Back then it was stock ECU (well, reprogrammed G-Force unit) with full exhaust on a 1987 Turbo II. Side note, I was able to hit 200 miles on a 10 gallon fill-up's. I only fill up 10 gallons at a time, and it makes calculating mileage easy now. Still tweaking the Haltech E8... -Ted |
