Turborotor...holy **** 300-350 on an N/A??

thats alot!!

i get the MOST 180-200 per tank. how many gallons is a 2nd gen tank??

gas down here is about $1.06 for 87octane. dont bother with the higher stuff, car runs alot better with the cheap ****.

its a ~16 gallon tank in a FC. i get about the same gas mileage in my GTU , if i got 300-350 like turborotor i would have to fill up every other week instead of every week

its been so long since i drove the FD i don't even remember what i got, i'm sure it was bad since whenever i drove it i was on boost :sigh: prolly 10mpg or less

Well gas is $0.99 cents here and in my GT with average driving I will go between 23-28mpg but when I get on it hard and race a lot I am going between 14-19mpg. Now my 2.3 is a different story here. With a fair amount of highway cruising at 65mph it will only average around 18mpg. In the city it will average about 15mpg..... sad my 5.0 does better.... dont have a 7... YET!

my buzzer only works sometimes. i'm still itching to hit the 9000+ mark

My buzzer tweeked out on me and would just start buzzing, even if I was just sitting at a stop light. Plus it wouldn't turn off untill it wanted to. So I took apart my gauge cluster and clipped the buzzer off the circut board. Much better now. Now I can hit 7500 rpm and not hear that damn buzzer.
