Im getting way less than 10mpg on this thing now. Is it likely that after having removed the emissions and the solenoid rack and all that jazz that i would see such a drop in gas mileage? Im not even driving the thing like a maniac. For a note im 'idling' at about 1800 and my BAC is out of commission as one of the wires broke lose from the plug. Last time i broke down the manifold to put in the turbo i readjusted all of the throttle body stuff to factory specs. I dont know what the deal is :unsure:

rotary = bad MPG with or without turbo, you wonder how that much gas could even fit in such a tiny *** engine, oh well, I guess that is why I have a 16 gallon tank.

rednecks that drank gasoline instead of beer couldnt drink as much as this damn thing is drinking. half a tank and 50 miles on the trip odometer. beat that.
