so i finally decided to check what the MPG on my swap was. anyone want to take a guess? this was all "city" driving at 14psi or more with lots and lots of boosting and back road fun.
-------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

RPM is the 900-lb gorilla of fuel economy (quote stolen from an old Car and Driver, I think).
That's why to get 37 mpg out of my 7a I shift at 2k almost all the time, with gradual and smooth throttle inputs, and I read traffic to minimize stopping and roll lights. I actually thought about putting up a video of my driving style just to be informative, but it probably wouldn't come across well. -------------------- |
