If you drive it off boost it will be very similar in gas mileage to stock, but don't come in here and tell us you doubled the stock MPG rating by installing a TT kit. You might be running significantly leaner at low rpm while cruising and yeah, you might even be saving gas (very unlikely since you've plugged the exhaust path with a set of turbos).

You're essentially saying "get bigger injectors and your gas mileage will be higher". Thats bs.

Between this thread and the other thread I find that hip waders are required...

You have a supercharger correct? Off boost you don't have the economy of a turbo as you are still spinning the compressor. Still not buying that a turbo is more efficient than the same motor NA but a turbo is definitely more efficient than a supercharger if you stay out of it.

ya! but then i'm not making any positive boost. not sure if that matters much on the S/C app. still a little disappointed in my fuel mileage. 220 is what i'm making on highway and local driving combined out of a full tank lol

gas price in San Francisco is around $4.17 for 91 octane btw lol.

combined local and highway I am getting ~19mpg and that is with quite a bit of getting on it..

I generally see 330 out of a tank without sucking it dry...

You guys didn't know that the Veyron gets 80mpg and 900 miles to the tank?

That's nothing, the Veyron Super Sport gets 100 mpg and gets almost 2k miles per tank

Also 900 miles / 80 mpg = 11.25 mpg which is more like 60% of a tank.
