Boost = bad for mileage, good for fun

I'd reiterate that mileage truly does vary and most often it's due to the right foot. Look at the APC gauge constantly. If that moves into the yello, you're mileage is going down. If your RPM's go above 2500, you are not getting optimum mileage. Note, in 5th, that's right around 60MPH.
If you are still getting poor mileage, you might check the exhaust tip. Is it dirty? Possibly too rich. Is it wet? Oil leak issue or too much unburned gas.
