I just figured mine up tonight after I filled up. I am getting 21.9 MPG with a 50/50 mix between freeway and city with a little fun mixed in between. This is on Sunoco Ultra 94 and I have the Mopar BOV, MSD ignition coil, MSD Super Conductor wires and the K&N Typhoon CAI.

Isn't it weird not having to use your horn to get people to move out of the way?!??!?
Just flashing the headlights does the trick (at least it did when I was there).....[&:]

Yeah, I think there was/is a law that was enforced pretty hard about not staying in the left lane unless you're passing someone. To be honest, it was usually the American drivers that got into trouble on the autobahn since the driving style is so different than what they were used to. Honking your horn at someone was a major no-no!!!!! And God forbid if you should accidently tap another car with your bumper or even the car door!!!!!

Gas mileage in this car is just about a joke. But on my trips from VT to MD. I was able to get around 275 on a full tank pushing it to the limit. But on a normal tank anything from 175-225 is good.

Now I have a question on Boost Controllers and their use of fuel. I have a Apexi AVC-R and I was wondering if there was a difference in gas mileage when I change the amount of boost I'm putting out? So does pushing more boost equal my gas tank going down that much faster?

More boost means more air/fuel, so yes, you're using more gas. You can use your boost gauge as an "economy gauge" and drive w/o using any boost...notice the diference in gas mileage (and the decrease in fun).

That's 100% correct. That has to be how Chrysler got their 22-30 MPG rating, running it at 0 boost the whole time. With full boost the whole time it would probably get 5 MPG.[sm=smiley5.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]

I've got 5000 mile's and average between 17-21 in town and best iv'e gotten on the highway is 26 that's on 87 octane you don't need to run 91+ unless your subjecting your running your engine hard so ya don't fry the piston's. my 03 svt focus recommend 91+ to. But i put 91+ in when i ran it on the dyno.
