Default MPG thread *turbo cars only*

what are you guys getting as far as mpg, what are your boost levels? how lean do u run under 100kpa, and post your maps.
I'm stuck at 20mpg city 24 highway, I like to have fun but I'm not always boosting around....thus y I think my VE table might be off, before turbo I was still seeing 30 mpg since then i have adjusted my >100KPa to "flow smoother to <100KPA but in lou of that I might have made it too rich

I can't post a .msq right now as i'm on my iPhone, but my msII gets me 28.85 miles per gallon driving to work with the occasional 7psi beating. Under 100kPa I run around 15.3 at like cruise (20-15" of vacuum) between 10" to 0 it tapers from 14.7 to like 13.5?? I can't remember, I could upload my .msq and a datalog later with AFR target table and all that **** if you really want to see it.

Doing 65mph, staying out of boost the entire time, I dragged down 29.8mpg on shitty Cali gas with an APR GTC-200 on the trunk. I usually get around 24-26 on the freeway cruising between 70 and 80. 16-17 in town driving like a teenager.

Worst I've ever gotten in town was 12. Worst ever on track is ~3.

I stay between 23-25 mpg. Except on track where I don't check, I just pump it 100 octane and close my eyes....

20 with a fairly poorly tuned map. It's also my weekend beater, so it's not exactly driven easy. I certainly hope I can get better than 24 on the freeway once I tune it a bit more.

24-26 city, driving normally. ~28 highway.

My Jetta's turbo too, does it count? It does ~33 in the city and ~42 highway.

I get 25mpg nearly every tank with my regular commute (3 miles interstate, 12 miles 45mph zoned with redlights) no matter how I drive. Same as I got before turbo. Running 12psi max. Before turbo I was getting a max of 30 on the hwy. I'm sure I can better that now. Maybe even 32 on the hwy with my current afr's at 15.5 in cruise. My map is pretty well dialed in IMO. Since my wife's laptop died, I haven't even taken my netbook with me in the car in weeks. I would attach my maps, but I'm at work.

Interstate road trip to Daytona from ATL yielded just under 30mpg at an average of ~4200 rpm with the FE3 and just over 15:1 afr. I'm running rx7 550cc injectors.
