    Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to be an ass. I just re-read that and realized I sounded real mean. I'm sorry about that.

    18-28 MPG (Average 25)
    98 GS-R

    I wish I had an LS tranny because the top gear runs much lower than the GS-Rs. At 80MPH I run around 4k. I think when I rode with collins in his SPED He was around 1000 lower at 80.

    used to get around 280 miles to the tank

    1st turbo setup with MAF/SAFCII/Stock 330cc inectors and a decent amount of "getting on it" 210 miles/tank

    2nd turbo setup with AEM/550's..... lets not even talk about it.... although i hear its actually supposed to be pretty damn good if i dont boost..... but like THATS ever going to happen!!!

    93 octane gas 100% of the time...

    Val, who tuned your car??? and what A/F management are you using??

    big daddy doug did. ecutek for management. is the cams. i had decent before. but now my car <3s petrol.

    actually, a good deal has to do with gearing. 5 gears = 4k @ 85mph on highway = full boost. sooooo... gas goes buh-bye. if i slowed down it would help and didn't romp the gas every light. but everyone knows that the spool of the turbo is an addicting noise.
