That’s not AWD. That’s shitty tune or a shitty fuel economy based on the car itself.

I get 15-18 IN boost and 24-26 highway.

they are 26/34 city/highway cars… I call BS!

I can believe you getting upwards of 38, but you’d have to baby the shit out of it and draft on the highway… it def mattered how you drove it.

i was never going WOT constantly in it… but id prolly do 3-4 hard pulls per tank and id get a minimum of 420 miles per tank. 13:1 afr @ wot 17-18:1 afr at cruise… it averaged every tank between 36-38mpg

well thats impressive then. WOT in a 125hp 4cyl can’t be using up that much more gas than at idle, so I guess it can be possible :haha

JClark who? :confused

Anyhow, you people need to learn to tune your cars to drive properly. Most FI cars should see VERY similiar MPG off boost both city and highway but it depends on how you drive. If you are BABYING it or intentionally trying for MPG and you don’t? You got some tune problems or something else going on.
