29 to 26 MPG
 
Lost 3 mpg since I turboed the Miata. :facepalm: Oh well

and for some reason my tach is now acting weird. Sometimes it reads 500 rpm under. I have a spare cluster, just been too lazy to install it.

When I bought my 99 it was stock, and was getting around 28 MPG? I turbo'd it and used a voo-doo box and got 25mpg. Now with MS it's all over the place until I work the bugs out, but I hope for 30mpg.

I get 29mpg, and I drive like an asshole.

Tune yo shit.

But really, who cares about 3mpg? Tell your fat girlfriend to get out of the car!

I'm lucky to get more than 23MPG
However if I stay out of boost I can get close to 40mpg

LOLz wife is far from fat.


I think I know what my problem is. Just waiting for pay day to hit up Olderguy for an o2 clamp. I think my FM o2 clamp is damaged. Every time I test it I get different voltage output readings.

Ok, I need to get out of here. This is the second useless post i've made in the last 20 min :facepalm:

I only stayed out of boost for half a tank, it was an experiment.. I havent been able to repeat this experiment.

I average 26 mpg, If I drive like Grannie I'll get as much as 32 mpg. But who really gives a shit?

thx for the update

check your base timing. I was getting between 20 and 23 mpg. Checked my base timing because i hadn't done since I bought the car. turns out I was retarded 7.5 degrees. Don't know what caused it. I had about a half a tank of gas left when i fixed it and I can already see that my mileage has improved dramatically. It lookslike I may get an extra 30- 50 miles out of this tank of gas
