34 mpg on the highway......

The real kicker is that this is on my SQR stage 5+ with well over 300hp at the wheels. I drive between 40-50k miles per year in my 9000, and this mileage is consistent if I cruise at 70. I calculate and document my mileage for work, and I know not to trust my EDU because I am running 42lb per hour Volvo green injectors and the EDU doesn't adjust for this.
In the city, my mileage is simply laughable. I am lucky to get 300miles on a tank. (Of course this is because of my left foot.) On the highway, over 500 miles on a tank is consistent. YMMV :o)
