its all i would get with the car before i modded its gas usage.
to get 35 miles out of a gallon the easiest way to calculate is to fill the car full of 93, so full the gas wants to spill out, we are talking plump full.
now if the car (or my car) was drove in stop and go traffic (around town the hole tank) and now its empty, after i filled the tank once more to plump (the gas pump tells you how much gas was used in gallons, do a little math and there's your out come.
in town with a plump tank i got 30 miles to the gallon with out using a.c., using the a.c. in town the entire tank i got 28 miles to the gallon, hwy with the plump tank no a.c. with cruise on the hole stretch at 70 mph i hit 35 miles per gallon, and if i had a spare gallon gas can in the back im almost sure i could of got 37 out of the tank.
any how..... this was before i modded the motor.
now with the 30 lb injectors, modded apc, 3.0 bar. i get 23 hwy, 20 in town.
no matter if i use a.c. or not the out come is always the same.
when the motor was pulling good mileage it had i had the 2.5 bar equipped along with the stock injectors, no mods to the apc.
i found when i switched back from the 3.0 bar to the 2.5 bar and kept all the other mods, it alone improved gas mileage by 70 more miles i could pull out of the tank.
in my mind the work to swap out the 3.0 for the 2.5 every trip just isn't worth it.
even though i get just awful gas mileage with the mods, in no way do i mind, just because of the performance improvement the mods do.
the car behaves like its a v8 on steroids. im hooked on the mods :)
