try shifting at 3000 rpm you'll have 3/4 tank left. you still have stock exhaust ? if you upgrade the exhaust and keep the boost low you will get better MPG

ive got a straight 2.5" out the back, no cat, just the rb cat-back. it smells pretty rich at idle too, leaky injectors? need to install that a/f meter, too lazy though

I could only WISH for my T2 to get 15 mpg. I think I'm averaging 7-9! Mine smells like it runs rich, too... I need to figure out how to tune it so it's not so bad!
