'86 SPG, SPG9 stage 1 APC, K&N open-element intake right behind the intercooler, MSS cat-back exhaust, magnecor wires.
I just got the APC upgrade, so I've been doing quite a bit of WOT acceleration. Highway cruising has been ~78mph.
I use 94 octane gas, and have been adding "outlaw" octane booster on the three tanks of gas I've put in the car since upgrading the APC. As far as I can tell, the octane booster helps the turbo blow really hard, which ruins the gas mileage.
Once, I got 530 miles on a single tank of gas in my old '86 900T. All highway, 60-something mph (bald tires + hurricane Bertha= slow drive to a wedding) and no gas additives.
