I can get nearly 300 miles per tank if I try to. It's not too hard to get about 20 mpg.

I deal in feet per gallon rather than miles per gallon. I'm still dialing in my fuel curve on the low end. With a little luck, it will get better, then all I'll have to do is try to keep my foot out of it. Trouble is, I'm turning into a ricer and like hearing that wastegate wasting and the BOV BOVing.
