Made it to Kansas City for the night. 3.5 hour drive tomorrow. Almost home but don't want to jinx it. Last leg was at night and around 85 degrees. Gas milage wasn't as good this time at 20.8 mpg. I'm tired and want to get home. Full review to follow tomorrow. Gnite.

Yeah, we have been discussing that in another thread. The current theory is that the ECU is calculating fuel use based on pulse width. With bigger injectors, the pulse width goes down relatively, since a shorter pulse on a bigger injector gives the same amount of fuel. It would be nice if that was a parameter that could be programmed, but it seems like at this point it is not.

Regarding fuel mileage in general. Does the SC use a clutch? I.e. when cruising along at 70 are you making boost or is the SC freewheeling? I would think that you should achieve near OEM MPG if the SC was effectively decoupled when not accelerating.

Just to chime in, I'm getting about 250 miles from my tank as well.

That must make long trips less fun.

Less fun for the wallet, yes.

More fun for the foot, YES!
