Gas Milage (For turbo Cars)

Post by BuGS »

Started out with like 19 MPG and after a lot of tuneing and swapping to the RX7 VAF and more tuning I have got up to 25mpg. Should I try to tune some more and go for a better AF mixture for more power and Gas milage or should I leave it along?

But Mostly What is your MPG on your turbo charged car?

Usually its 26-27.

Boosting a lot gets me around 18-20 mpg.

How many miles have you put on your car with the 15psi de? Is it reliable?

that's good to hear you guys are getting about the same mpg as me...i thought i was the only one getting 25ish. seems like crappy mileage compared to the 1.6L. oh well, its totally worth it.

My pre turbo days I was averaging 29 mpg city/highway on 87 oct.
I'm currently averaging 20mpg with occasional boosting on 93 oct.
but I do have a bigger smile on my face lately.
