Fuel mileage? What's that nonsense? lol Might help if I had any sort of a linear throttle response. Turbo doesn't help any with that, quarter pedal pegs me at 1psi off the line.

My average is 22.4 right now. Missed my long distance trip this week, usually it's right around 23.

With a combo of street & highway, our econ meter is steady around 27-28 MPG, although I think I need to fix something, because before my wife was forced off the road (knocked a wheel out of alignment, the BTSI broke, etc), it was averaging about 35 MPG combo driving the way I drive it. I'm pretty sure it's got a fouled injector or something non SES related, because the light has never been on.

When my wife drives it, it usually drops about .5 MPG.
