Yeah but even with a stock boosted car we should be getting better than 200-300km per tank. Right after I changed my fuel filter and fixed my vacuum leak I get wicked mileage, now I’m already back down to about 260-270km per tank. so what thats like 12-14mpg, not good. If the acetone works like its supposed to then I would bump up to like 18-20, hey its a start. ---

With my SR at 14psi the worst milage i got was 320 to a tank. and that was a tank that was being used going down the drag strip at SCC. It i ma nice i usualy get close to 500 ish. ---

Both my 240s were pigs. The S14 cost $55-$65 to fill. The S13 was at least 40-50 last year this time. I’m pretty sure I never got more than 500 kms highway driving.
