Holy ****. I was gitting around 275 a tank with my big SP engine, and the stock ecu never going into closed loop mode. Ill get back to you in a few weeks with results now that Ive got a standalone, and closed loop cruise. Im expecting around 350 a tank.

One thing to check on your FC is that the gas guage is reading accuratly. When I got my TII I filled it up and drove around till it read empty and was like WTF?!?!? I only got like 190miles to that tank. When I filled it up it only took 12 gallons and its a 16.6 gallon tank............so your gas gauge might not be very accurate. Once mine hits below the last markof the gauge I can get another 90 miles or so out of it.
To answer you other question I get about 19-21 mpg on an 87 TII with DP and catback, 7lbs of boost

Stop and go with no ac i think i get 17 mph. Highway, no AC, super fuel conservation mode at 120 kph i got around 27 mph.
7 hours at shannonville track i burned off two complete tanks of gas. So i think i got like 5 mph maybe?
